Nothing Compares 2 U

I wrote an article on Sinead O'Connor and mentioned that "Nothing Compares 2 U" was originally by a band called The Family. The quality of the song is so-so as it's from vinyl that someone had ripped (you can hear the crackles and pops).
When Morris Day left The Time, Prince arranged all the remaining members (minus Jesse Johnson, who also left the band) to become The Family. They ended up releasing one self-titled album.
With dismal album sales, the band broke up shortly afterward, however they reunited to play for charity on December 2003. What's interesting is that last year (Jan 2007), they announced they were indeed back together to record a new CD.
Anyway, regarding the self-titled debut album, only cassettes and LPs were released in the US. There are CD versions, but it was only sold in Japan and Europe, but they were issued well pasted the band's prime in the 90s when CDs were being introduced.
