I recently heard this unreleased Prince track called "Heaven".

Hot damn, that song is funky!!!!! dancing jig

Can I get some more info about it? My guess is that it was recorded around '85 or '86.

That's true but it still kicks ass. I love listening to it. In fact, I'm going to listen to it right now.
I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that

It's such great track!

This could easily be placed as the title track on a new Prince bootleg album (a la CB, but with more of a theme - i.e heaven/love/religion/god/spiritual - but unlike TRC it doesn't preach!)

Prince: Heaven On Earth
1. heaven
2. dance electric
3. love thy will b done
4. a place in heaven
5. moonbeam levels
6. others here with us
7. god is alive
8. the voice inside
9. dance with the devil
10. still would stand all time (original)
11. the grand progression

Does anyone else think that this song should have been the closing song that plays at the end of UTCM when the credits are rolling? I think it would have worked so much better than "Mountains" and since it's about "heaven",it would have been more appropriate,since Christopher Tracy got killed at the end.Plus,I would have loved having this song on 'Parade'.

Agreed. "Heaven" would have been far too bittersweet. "Mountains" is the perfect positive finale.

I've always like that song.

The issue is that it's a song about Vaginas, but Prince was never brave enough to just say it.

If you listen very closely you can close your eyes and see vaginas floating up to heaven, banging on the pearly gates, begging to enter and sit at the right hand side of Peter.

"Heaven" is my favorite unreleased song. It should have followed "Purple Rain".

The above is actually a bootleg album?

Man, I would love to hear it. I love "Dance Electric", but I never heard P's version of it.
