nothing compares to this - six years before 1990’s classic re-imagining by Sinéad O'Connor, prince recorded a studio version of the classic song and, for the first time ever, it gets a well-deserved physical release.

The track was recorded at the Flying Cloud Drive 'Warehouse' in Eden Prairie by Prince’s long-time engineer Susan Rogers, and originally composed, arranged and performed in its entirety by Prince, aside from the backing vocals by Susannah Melvoin and Paul "St. Paul" Peterson.
