Does anyone have info on the track 'Eternity'..?

just heard it and i was surprised it's credited as Prince & The NPG.

It's brilliant and sound far more like a Parade / Dreams outtake...

anyone else got more info on the history / proposed use of this track?

cheers,

"Eternity" was done back around the "Parade" era, I think, with the Revolution.

According to Per Nilsen's D.M.S.R. 'Eternity' was recorded in December 1985 in Sunset Sound, Los Angeles, CA
It was offered to Vanessa Williams for a project George Clinton was working on with her at the time.
It was eventually released by Sheena Easton on her 'No Sound But A Heart' album in 1987.

And was recorded during the same sessions that saw the emergence of Dream Factory.

The song has always been solely credited to Prince on albums / single, and at the Library of Congress, where it was forst registered in 1987, in connection with the Sheena Easton version.
ALT+PLS+RTN: Pure as a pane of ice. It's a gift.
