|introduction = '''Leaving For New York''' is an unreleased track recorded as a home recording in early-mid 1976 at the [[Russell Ave, Anderson house]], Minneapolis, Minnesota (during the same set of sessions as [[Don’t You Wanna Ride?]], [[Hey Lover]], [[I Spend My Time Loving You]], nine untitled [[Instrumentals-76|''Instrumentals'']], [[Nightingale]] and [[Rock Me, Lover]]). He soon re-recorded the track in Summer 1976 at [[Moon Sound]], Minneapolis, Minnesota (during the same set of sessions as [[Aces]], [[Baby]], [[Diamond Eyes]], [[Don’t Forget]], [[Don’t Hold Back]], [[Fantasy]], [[I’m Yours]], [[Just As Long As We’re Together|Jelly Jam]] (which was later used as the instrumental portion of [[Just As Long As We’re Together]]), [[My Love Is Forever|Love Is Forever]] (later renamed [[My Love Is Forever]]), [[Make It Through The Storm]], [[Since We’ve Been Together]], [[Surprise]] and [[Soft And Wet]]). The songs lyrics include what is believed to be [[Prince]]’s first use of the words "purple", "rain" and "dawn" in a song. Although it is not stated in the song why the narrator is "leaving for New York", it can be interpreted that [[Prince]] is singing about going there to begin his music career; [[Prince]] traveled to New York City in Autumn, 1976, taking with him a [[1976 demo tape|demo tape]] to give to various record companies. | |introduction = '''Leaving For New York''' is an unreleased track recorded as a home recording in early-mid 1976 at the [[Russell Ave, Anderson house]], Minneapolis, Minnesota (during the same set of sessions as [[Don’t You Wanna Ride?]], [[Hey Lover]], [[I Spend My Time Loving You]], nine untitled [[Instrumentals-76|''Instrumentals'']], [[Nightingale]] and [[Rock Me, Lover]]).
