The Prince estate has released the original recording of the 1984's "Nothing Compares 2 U."

The track version was shared on Thursday alongside previously unseen footage of Prince and the Revolution.

In 1990, "Nothing Compares 2 U" became a success for Sinéad O'Connor, but Prince originally penned the track for one of his projects, The Family.

The track was originally seen on the group's first album in 1985.

Prince's version of "Nothing Compares 2 U" mixes balladry with rough guitar riffs and the musician's soaring vocals.

"Nothing Compares 2 U" was recorded by Prince at the Flying Cloud Drive "Warehouse" in Eden Prairie, Minnesota with his engineer Susan Rogers.

The late icon penned, arranged and sang the track, doing everything for it but the backing vocals.

Susannah Melvoin and Paul "St. Paul" Peterson sang backing vocals, while Eric Leeds played saxophone for the song.

The "Nothing Compares 2 U" studio version is available for streaming and downloading through digital retailers.

On May 25, a seven-inch vinyl single will be released on Prince's "HtNRun" online store.
