Hard To Get is an unreleased track recorded between 10-21 July 1979 at Mountain Ears Sound Studio in Boulder, Colorado, during sessions for The Rebels album (the same set of sessions that produced Too Long, Disco Away, Thrill You Or Kill You, You, If I Love You Tonight, The Loser and the instrumentals Dez & Mother Plucker and Dumb-ass Cock Sucker Blues?).

Prince re-recorded the song in early 1981 at his at Kiowa Trail Home Studio in Chanhassen, Minnesota, in what is thought to be a solo version.
