...also, am I missing something? I can't find it available streaming anywhere...even though the press release says it is...
I can't find it on Spotify. 
It was on Spotify for a short period, was able to add it to a playlist but it doesn’t play or download. Artwork is purple background with yellow/purple title and symbol. |

Doesn't play anymore (only for 1 second) so wonder why it was deleted.

As far as I'm aware it's 'Rock 'n' Roll is Alive (And it Lives in Minneapolis)', which is pretty underwhelming. I thought it may at least have been an unreleased remix from the 'Rave' album, but apparently not.
I agree -- it's disappointing. Oh, well. 
Y'all think basketball fans want something obscure from the vault? 😂😂😂😂😂 They wanted 'Grand Progression' or 'Adonis & Bathsheba'. Trust me |

RodeoSchro said: Rock and Roll is Alive! would be an AWESOME giveaway! It's a great, funky song; almost no one in the stadium will be familiar with it; it name checks the home team's city in a great way; and ummm....what's gonna be the B side?
I can just hear the entire crowd with a call-and-response during a timeout:
EAST SIDE - Rock and Roll is Alive!
WEST SIDE - And it lives in Minneapolis!
Run that through the stadium for 30 seconds or so. AWESOME. Calhoun square is the B-side. It's a great song but I would have preferred an unreleased track. It seems like it's only the 7" who has the b-side. [Edited 4/4/19 16:05pm]Welcome 2 The Dawn |

"Calhoun Square" is a great choice for a b-side--two songs about Minneapolis paired together on a single given to game attendees who may know more about the city than the artist.

Bought my copy on e-bay. It'll probably be available at Electric Fetus soon but I bought it just in case it's not. Making love and music are the only things worth fighting for. |

Makes sense for them to wait until April 5, when they give away the 7", to put the song up on Spotify. Curious to see what artwork they use for it. Releases have oscillated between artwork that looks nice, modern, and contemporary (i.e. Piano & a Microphone, that Valentine's Day playlist) and others that... have sucked like 4ever. I can't decide if the Ultimate Rave artwork works or not.
Dr. Funkenberry posted the artwork on his Facebook page as few days ago and I'm not impressed. Nothing compares 2 u 7" had far better artwork
.
I think the artwork looks cool overall – however, I have 2 issues with it:
.
– It's a poor typographic choice to use such a low quality font as that Purple Rain inspired imitation for the text "(and it lives in Minneapolis)". The original Purple Rain title was hand-drawn, it wasn't a computer font, therefore every character was different. This imitation font is amateurish, it doesn't even have proper kerning, the 'i' and 't' characters in "it" are horribly close to each other, while the 's' in "lives" looks awkward, etc. (And why refer back to Purple Rain on a cover for songs recorded in 1995 anyway?)
.
– The lineups listed on the back don't include Prince at all as a performer. According to this record sleeve, Prince didn't play or sing on these two songs...
