million miles (love U) and we can work it out

Could someone please tell around what time these songs were done. They are two of my favorite boots.
Million miles sounds to me like it was done in the 80's and we can work it out sometime in the 70's? He mention the WB his then record label. So, i wonder if it was a demo for them or just a song to play as a goof.

I would appreciate any info i can get about the two songs.

Or just people expressing love for the two songs.

Thanks in advance.

We can work it out is an early track, but A MILLION MILES was on the Apollonia 6 album. There is no version with Prince floating around. Is that what you are talking about?

Really! How does it sound? Is it the full version or one of those samples that floats around.

Prince's vocal is excellent on million miles (love u). The song is 2 minutes and 5 seconds and a fuzzy in sound quality but, it is still really good.

Yeah, I prefer his two minute version than Apollonia 6's full, clear version! LOL! Wayyy funkier!!
