Prince — Work It 2.0 (6-CD Boxset) | GetBlue Catalogue #001–006
One of the Most Comprehensive Early Prince Archive Sets in Existence
Work It 2.0 is the GetBlue label's monumental six-disc collection covering Prince's earliest recording years — from the pre-Warner Brothers boom box tapes of 1976 through the Rebels sessions, the Sound 80 demos, Vanity 6 and Apollonia productions, and into the Purple Rain era. This is not a casual collector compilation. It is a serious archive document built around catalogue numbers 001–006, designed for collectors who want to understand Prince's earliest creative period in depth.
Why This Boxset Stands Out
The sheer breadth is staggering. Disc One alone presents four separate versions of For You alongside the earliest known boom box recordings and three different takes of Just As Long As We're Together. Disc Two adds the Sound 80 demos and eight instrumental sessions. Disc Three opens up the Rebels material — the short-lived band project that included tracks like You, Disco Away, Hard To Get, Loving You, Thrill You Or Kill You, and Turn Me On — alongside rare Prince recordings Lisa, The Second Coming, and the first version of Tick Tick Bang.
Disc Four moves into the early 1980s with Moonbeam Levels, Feel U Up, Do Yourself A Favor, Strange Way Of Saying I Love You, the first version of We Can Funk, three takes of Turn It Up, and the original recording of Extra Loveable. Disc Five brings in the protégée productions — The Time's The Bird, two takes of Vanity 6's Vibrator, the original Sex Shooter, Manic Monday by Prince and Apollonia, and the two earliest versions of Purple Music. Disc Six closes the set with the Purple Rain era — Take Me With U, The Beautiful Ones, four versions of Computer Blue, Darling Nikki, G-Spot, and I Would Die 4 U.
