The only outtake from that time period that I'm aware it could have been is 'Purple Music' - an unreleased Prince composition - rather than 'Purple Haze'.

I love both of the Purple House covers (Rave DVD and Power of Soul- Jimi tribute) but the Rave one has the better guitar solo. Where do I find the cover of Voodoo Chile Slight Return?!

There's no official Prince release of this cover - so you aren't allowed to ask.
