I’ll Always Love You is the third track on the second disc of 94 East’s second collection of studio recordings Symbolic Beginning, featuring Prince on guitar.
Basic tracking took place on 4 December 1975, at Cookhouse Studios in Minneapolis, Minnesota (during the same set of sessions as Games, If We Don’t, Better Than You Think and If You See Me), marking the earliest recording sessions featuring Prince to have been released. Matt "Dr." Fink remixed the track in June 2010, at StarVu Studios in Minneapolis, Minnesota, along with the other Cookhouse Studios tracks from the same session.
I’ll Always Love You was included on every reissue of 94 East’s Symbolic Beginning (The Early Years in 1999, One Man Jam in 2000, 94 East Featuring Prince in 2016 and the Expanded CD edition of Dance To The Music Of The World). The song was released on a double A-Side single in 2022 (with If We Don’t).
In 2011, the remixed version by Matt "Dr." Fink was included as the third track on the digital collection The Cookhouse Five.
