#NewMusic – (Video) Prince Estate Releases 1984 Recording of ‘Nothing Compares 2 U’
Prince‘s estate has released the late singer’s original 1984 studio recording of Nothing Compares 2 U — along with never-before-seen footage of Prince rehearsing with the Revolution.
Prince previously released a live version of the track on 1993 album The Hits/The B-Sides and periodically performed it onstage. However, this is the first time the studio version has been released.
A different version of Nothing Compares 2 U by singer Sinead O’Connor became a worldwide hit in 1990.
The following is previously unseen rehearsal footage of Prince & The Revolution from the summer of 1984. It was in this very room at Flying Cloud Drive Warehouse in Eden Prairie, Minnesota that Prince created and committed to tape one of his most beloved and iconic compositions, which six years later would become a worldwide hit for Sinead O’Connor. Prince’s original studio version of ‘Nothing Compares 2 U’ is presented here for the first time. Video directed by Andrea Gelardin and Ruth Hogben.
