I've been looking at Work It 2.0 and it's pretty daunting. Is there anywhere a list available that details all the tracks unique to this collection (i.e. excluding the many takes on commercially released songs we already have on albums and b-sides)?

34 discs. Daunting would be an understatemnet. But well worth it. Some cleaner versions of material from The Work, and much more.

Dipping into it now and it's much better than expected (I was thinking low quality demos with minimal instruments or something). Is there a guide online to it? I found the site The Vault which details each song but seems to only reference official stuff where an official version exists, i.e. If the Time recorded a track it references them rather than Princes demo (looking for info, if it exists, on the years that tracks were recorded)

It's not complete, but I enjoyed reading Matt Thorne's book while listening to the tracks on Work It 2.0.

Nice reading about songs and demo's and searching for them and listening to them.

Cheers, I've been considering the Matt Thorne book and didn't realise it was so encompassing of unreleased stuff too, I'll have to get a copy
