17 (a.k.a. Carnac) is the ninth track on the album 1-800 New
Funk (a compilation of mostly-unreleased music largely written
and produced by Prince/ , recorded by other Paisley Park
Records artists). Later in 1994, 17 was included as the b-side on
the European release of Margie Cox’s single Standing At The
Altar, released to promote 1-800 New Funk.
Basic tracking (using the track’s original name Carnac) took
place on 7 July 1993 at Paisley Park Studios in Chanhassen,
Minnesota (during a five-hour session that also produced Edward
(later renamed Asswoop or Asswhuppin’ In A Trunk), (Got 2)
Give It Up, Parlor Games, Rootie Kazootie and a mostlyinstrumental version of Space). In mid-1994, it was included (as
17) as the first track of a projected third Madhouse album, 24
(which included all the tracks recorded on 7 July 1993). The track
was likely renamed 17 to fit the naming system of previous
Madhouse tracks, although strangely, the other tracks on the
album were not renamed
