24

24 is an unreleased studio album by Madhouse (sharing the name with an earlier aborted Madhouse album, 24), and was recorded in 1993, with a planned release in early 1994. Unlike previous Madhouse albums, all tracks feature a full band, with Eric Leeds playing saxophone and flute, Michael B. on drums, Sonny T. on bass guitar and Levi Seacer, Jr. on guitar (Prince played keyboards and added other instrumentation). Unlike the previous albums, Sheila E. was not involved in the recordings. Unlike Madhouse's first two album, 8 and 16, only the first track, 17, is given a numerical title; the rest receive names to give them more individual character. Unusually, two of the album's tracks also contain vocals, and also contains a cover version, (Got 2) Give It Up (a cover version of Marvin Gaye's track (titled Got To Give It Up) from his 1977 album Live At The London Palladium). The album's six full tracks were recorded during a single five-hour session on 7 July 1993, at Paisley Park Studios, Chanhassen, MN, USA. Ricky Peterson added post-production work on the tracks in late August and September 1993, before Prince added more production and recorded musical segues with the band members.
