"A Better Place To Die" ???

I remember hearing this Prince song on a bootleg tape back in the mid 80s. It was supposed to have been recorded around the time of the 1999 album. I remember it being a great song. Anyone ever happen to hear this one? I'm surprised it never gets mentioned when there is talk of unreleased material.
the music knows what your motives are when you are making it

listen to The Replacements - its good for the soul

Ahhhhh, I didn't realize that was the name of the song. Yep, great tune.

Great song, probably would've worked better on 1999 than what Free did.

I like both tracks, but there's no denying Moonbeam Levels is the better song and thematically it would've fit in quite comfortably with the rest of the material on the album.

I agree. The hokey feel of that song was so out of place to me.
