A demo of "17 Days" by Prince will be on an album to be released later this month.

The album is simply titled "Piano and a Microphone 1983." It contains previously-unreleased versions of songs including "Purple Rain" and "International Lover." They were recorded on a cassette in Prince's home studio.
