The One Nite Alone... album was recorded in single takes at night in the atrium of [url=https://www.discogs.com/label/269869-Paisley-Park-Studios]Paisley Park[/url], in the darkness, save a few candles and the moonlight. Engineer Femi Jiya had microphones set up all over the atrium, and picked up unidentified noises, which they realized were the two doves sleeping in their cages. Femi offered to re-record the tracks, but Prince insisted they were left on.
