Years ago I came across this song called Billy's sunglasses, a song that lasts 51 minutes. I lost this track but I recently found it again.

There's no record for this on princevault what recording date is concerned (should be dirty mind area).

does anybody know more about this song ?

The Princevault entry is under "Billy"--just punch that into the search on the site.

More importantly, where did Billy get those sunglasses?

Montreal.

One of my favorite moments from Prince (though the first 20 minutes can get tedious). Does anyone have any more context around this rehearsal? Was it for a particular show? Were there other songs? Is there a more complete tape floating somewhere?

Yeah--or that. [I've never gotten links to look right when I've tried to put them in.]

You hear the working of Strange Relationship past 1/2 way into this piece

Considering they are twice the size of his head, he probably got them from Prince.

Do the sunglasses belong to Billy Jack Bitch?

In case you really don't know..:

Billy is the owner of the club where the Kid (Prince) is playing with his band The Revolution..

Maybe..... you need to watch the Purple Rain movie again..?

Billy is seen also in the beginning of the Purple Rain (song) music video:

I don't think so ... it has possibly appeared on a bootleg with early reherasals of these songs.
