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. |

We’ve got bootlegs 4 daazzzzzze every good thing in the vault... Coming 2013"''. </blockquote> As with [[Hannah Ford]], however, [[Donna Grantis]] did not appear on the original studio version of the song. 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. |

| + | '''Screwdriver''' was included as the second track on a CD found at [[Paisley Park Studios]] following [[Prince]]’s death, labeled "Live Band Trax". The other tracks ([[Ain’t Gonna Miss U When U’re Gone]], [[When She Comes]], [[Shade Of Umber]], [[Boyfriend]], and [[The Secret Text]]) mostly stem from 2012 or early 2013, suggesting that this CD was compiled around that time. It is not known if the version included on the CD was a live in-studio take with the then-nascent [[3rdEyeGirl]] line-up (perhaps even the '''Screwdriver (Remix)''' version mentioned above), or the original studio recording for the band members to learn. | ||
