He would later return to the Cookhouse Studios to record songs for Pepé Willie’s 94 East project the following year. Pepé Willie later discussed working with the group to improve their performance of the song. \"The problem was that they weren’t singing together. So I made them put down their instruments and being that Prince was the most talented at that time as far as playing the guitar, I would have him play guitar chords and get... them all sing together.

The track was written for Darlene, a girl Prince met in San Francisco, California in September 1978 and was seeing at the time. Her middle name was Maria, but was written as Marie on her baptismal record. Prince liked Marie better than Maria, or found it better suited the lyrics. He first wrote the song as a present for her around her birthday (1 November) and recorded a version of it in early November 1978 in his France Avenue Home Studio in Edina, Minnesota. Apparently, the song was renamed Darling Marie when re-recorded in May 1979 and tentatively placed as the last track of an early configuration for the Prince album. It has a relatively simple arrangement and features Prince accompanying himself on acoustic guitar, while the lyrics include the line \"Darlene Marie... why don’t you marry me?\" This likely refers to the fact that Darlene was engaged to be married when they met. Prince wanted her to marry him instead.\n\nThis also inspired the song Head.","release_date":"1978-1979","available_length":"Confirmed","quality":"Not Available","misc_type":"Ref Track","links":[]},{"name":{"raw":"All I Want (Just A Little Love","title":"All I Want (Just A Little Love"},"notes":"This song is believed to be an unreleased song recorded in 1979.

It was intended for Vanity 6’s planned second album. When Vanity left the group and decided not to participate in the Purple Rain movie, Prince instead formed the group Apollonia 6. The song is not known to have been considered for the Apollonia 6 album.The track is an ode to the battery-operated sex toy. The narrator (Vanity) sings about her vibrator, before the song transforms when the batteries run out in her toy; she goes to a store where she meets a shocked store clerk, played by Jill Jones, who offers to \"take it downstairs\" to install the new batteries. The narrator leaves, instead taking it to a different store, and meeting a different clerk (played by Prince in his Jamie Starr voice), who gives her the batteries and rushes her out of the store. She then takes her toy home, and the song ends with her moans and her eventual climax. Prince gave the song to Eric Leeds in July 1989 (along with Evolsidog, You’re All I Want, My Summertime Thang, Pickle, U Should Be Mine, Wet Dream Cousin, The Max and XYZ) when considering songs for a new Madhouse album (later called 26, which later evolved into Eric Leeds’ solo album Times Squared), presumably to be used as an instrumental; it is not believed that Leeds worked on the track, however. Vanity’s moans from the song have been sampled on a few different tracks. They were sampled at the beginning of Seven (as more of a segue between Six and Seven), before then also being sampled on 24 (Orgasm), originally included as part of 21-24 (The Dopamine Rush Suite) before the section it was a part of was edited out for the track’s release as The Dopamine Rush. The moans were also included on Orgasm (released in complete form as Poem).","release_date":"05/??/1983","available_length":"Full","quality":"High Quality","misc_type":"Ref Track","links":["https://youtu.be/J9rvvQEw2k8?si=iifUcL9TnLftea4W"],"subsection":"Purple Rain Sessions"},{"name":{"raw":"My Sex [V1]\n(May I Introduce My Sex To Yours?)","title":"My Sex [V1]","alt_titles":["(May I Introduce My Sex To Yours?)"]},"notes":"An unreleased song initially likely recorded somewhere in Spring 1983, likely at the Kiowa Trail Home Studio in Chanhassen, Minnesota, around the same time as Moral Majority.
