Has anyone heard the PRINCE version of STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN?

This was recorded for the compilation stairway to heaven but was not included due to it being so much BETTER than the original.

yes thats right!

The only 'evidence' that Prince recorded a demo for this project is the claim attributed to the producer of the project - who is also said to have stated that he rejected not only Prince's recording but demos submitted by David Bowie, Springsteen, Jagger and Cher were also rejected.

Can you provide any other evidence that this song was ever recorded by Prince?

And someone obviously has nothing to do tonight huh?!?!?

Nice try Intothelight...

However, I heard that Prince has recorded songs by bands like the White Stripes at Paisley.

No, but I've heard the Dolly Parton version.
