"Father's Song/Computer Blue" question

Computer Blue is one of my faves but I have two questions:

1) Why wasn't Father's Song (Computer Blue piano instrumental) not ever included on Purple Rain?

2) The extended mix of Computer Blue (around 11 minutes) was never officially released as a single, yet it has circulated around the net for some time. This version kills the short version. Does P have someone leaking tracks from his vault?

It would have killed the pace of the album stone dead.

The unedited studio version clocks in at just over 14 minutes and yes, the track was leaked and is circulating in small circles in digital sound quality.
