"Billy" - where'd you find your glasses

Just heard this song .... Anyone know when it was recorded? It's pretty funky!! Only prince can make such a soulful song about pretty much nothing. It's as if he's singing about something really meaningful to his heart - but no, just some glasses. It's brilliant.

it's from 1984, a rehearsal. the full version is 46 minutes (with a few minutes of strange relationship on guitar at the end) with nothing but headbang guitar and those few lyrics. genius, imo love clapping.

This was recorded in 83, this was a Purple Rain rehearsal.
