Has Prince ever covered any Beatles?

It goes without saying Prince is an admirer of the Beatles but has he ever covered a Beatles tune? I consider myself pretty versed in Prince and can't recall any Beatles covers. Anyone?

That was cool but that wasn't Prince actually "covering" a Beatles tune. He was just soloing. Incredible yes! But any full blown covers?

You could argue that the chorus of 'Alphabet St.' is a nod to 'She Loves You'.

Studio.

I haven't heard it, it isn't widely circulating, and I have no information if it is circulating amongst the smaller number of traders who have access to non-bootlegged, unreleased material.
