Sheena Easton - "Sugar Walls (Long 'Roman' Version)"

The Long Roman version was recently released on the Super Deluxe Edition of A Private Heaven in 2022. Sugar Walls is the second track on Sheena Easton’s fifth album A Private Heaven, and, around the time of the album’s release, Sugar Walls was released as the album’s third single. In a 2012 interview, Sheena Easton explained how the collaboration occurred. Both Prince and Easton were working with the same engineer, David Leonard at the time. Leonard told her: "'Prince sent over a track for you. We saw you on The Tonight Show the night before and Prince said 'Ya, I gotta write something for that girl.' And so he sent over Sugar Walls, and it was one of those things where it was like, 'Here it is. If you want to do it, here’s my number." Sheena Easton adds: "Then when we worked in the studio, we got along really well. We cracked each other up, we made each other laugh." Although Greg Mathieson is listed as the executive producer, Prince was in fact very hands-on in producing the track on the spot.
