March 1981 show at Uncle Sam's?

Has a recording of Prince's March 1981 show at Uncle Sam's (now First Ave) in Minneapolis ever leaked? I've been reading a lot about his early career and came across mention of this show. But I don't recall ever reading anyone discuss leaked recordings of it.

Note: I'm not asking for where to find it. I just want to know whether it exists.

Yup. One release is called Sam's Danceteria. Another is Sam's '81.

I've listened to Sam's 81 and it certainly isn't soundboard quality, but it's decent for an audience recording of it's age.

I would say the historical value of the show far outweighs the sound quality. I had the old cassette tape, and it wasn't a great listen by any means. I think the file floating around online sounds a little better, but not by much.
