Prince fans were given a special treat on Thursday when the pop star’s estate released his original recording of “Nothing Compares 2 U.”
Prince’s recording is from 1984, marking six years before Sinead O’Connor’s rendition of his song made it a worldwide hit.
“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,” the estate said in releasing the video, which was directed by Andrea Gelardin and Ruth Hogben.
