In 1986, the ever-mercurial Prince recorded, and came close to releasing, an eight-song album of funk/pop tunes with pitch-shifted vocals. The album, which would have been credited to "Camille" and not mention Prince at all, was cancelled at the last minute. Reworked versions of most of the songs later appeared on Sign 'O' the Times ("If I Was Your Girlfriend," "Strange Relationship," and "Housequake"), the also-cancelled Black Album ("Rockhard in a Funky Place"), the Bright Lights, Big City soundtrack ("Good Love"), and a few B-sides ("Shockadelica" and "Feel U Up").
