Sessions and compiling

The album’s credits state that the album was recorded at "Madhouse Studios", Pittsburgh, PA, USA 
(to go along with the pretense that this was a project Eric Leeds recorded with his previous band), 
but in fact the whole album was recorded over the course of four days (28 September - 1 October 1986)
at Prince’s Galpin Blvd Home Studio, Chanhassen, Minnesota. No musician is credited on this record.
