Moniker coined by Prince initially printed in the liner notes of the [m=16245] soundtrack: "Darling Nikki was recorded at a place very close 2 where u live." This is reference to the bedroom home studio at his residence located on the shore of Lake Riley in Minnesota, USA.

¹ = 'Kiowa Trail Home Studio' was first time credited as such on the 'Purple Rain' Special Editions
² = not to be confused with ' somewhere in Uptown' (which is at North Arm Drive in Orono)
³ = Prince had painted the house purple when he moved in
