| − | |introduction = '''Screwdriver''' was released on the stand-alone single [[Single: Screwdriver|Screwdriver]] | + | |introduction = '''Screwdriver''' is the ninth track on [[Prince]]'s 39th studio album [[Album: Hitnrun Phase Two|Hitnrun Phase Two]]. The track was first released almost three years earlier, however, on the stand-alone single [[Single: Screwdriver|Screwdriver]]. It was premiered two weeks earlier as an audio stream on Minnesota public radio station [http://www.thecurrent.org/listen/minnesota/the_current/local_current/2013/01/22/prince_screwdriver 89.3 The Current's website], and as a [[Video: Screwdriver|lyric video stream]] on [[Prince]]'s official website [[Prince2013.com|20pr1nc3.com]]. At the time of initial release it was unclear if this song was intended to be included on an album. It was later assumed to be part of [[Prince]] and [[3rdEyeGirl]]'s [[Album: Plectrumelectrum|Plectrumelectrum]] project, as the song was used as the introduction to the [[3rdEyeGirl]] band, but it was later revealed that the studio version of the track was recorded prior to [[Hannah Ford]] and [[Donna Grantis]] joining [[Prince]]'s band. |
| − | The first public mention of the song was on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/December 17|17 December, 2012]], when a 0:30 video rehearsal clip of the song was streamed on drummer [http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=440523409348056 Hannah Ford's Facebook page] with the message: ''A Taste of Rehearsal''. | + | The first public mention of the song was on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/December 17|17 December, 2012]], when a 0:30 video rehearsal clip of the song was streamed on drummer [http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=440523409348056 Hannah Ford's Facebook page] with the message: ''A Taste of Rehearsal''. Interestingly the drummer on the studio version of the song is [[John Blackwell]], rather than [[Hannah Ford|Ford]]. |

We've got bootlegs 4 daazzzzzze every good thing in the vault... Coming 2013"''. </blockquote> A 29-second clip of the studio version of the song followed the same day on [http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=Tv81J-aPgbw YouTube], with an image showing lyrics from the song, again with the text "Coming 2013", but this was removed within a few hours of its posting. | + | The video included new guitarist [[Donna Grantis]], and ended with a text screen stating:<blockquote>''"2 C the rest of [[Donna Grantis|Donna's]] audition holla at ya girl!
