'Sign 'O The Times' (remastered)

apparently this is some sort of a hoax. this info actually seems to be from last year - april fool 2012 :-/

they should brutally kill people for posting info like this wink)))

-------------------

Sorry for double posting, but did WB release this finally ? I found this info

(with the 2 extra previously unreleased extended versions of 'Dorothy Parker' & 'ICNTTPOYM' ?)


BURBANK, CA--(Marketwire -04/01/12)- Warner Bros. Records has announced that in conjunction with NPG records it will be releasing Prince's seminal 1987 double-album "Sign 'O' the Times" in a remastered and deluxe packaged box set.

This marks the first time any of the Minneapolis musician's albums have been given the 'deluxe box set' treatment and only came about after extensive negotiations between Prince and Warner Bros Records. The Purple Rain star famously fell out with his longterm record company in 1993, which led to the widely ridiculed decision to change his name to an unpronounceable symbol. However recent years have seen a thawing in the relationship between artist and record label and the stalemate which had previously seen both sides largely ignoring each other was finally resolved late last year.

The set will comprise a double vinyl gatefold and CD slip case version of the album itself along with an additional CD of B-sides and remixes. Also included is a glossy 12x12" booklet featuring photos and artwork, a collection of postcards (including an enlarged die-cut replica of the 'Heart' label featured on the original album), and a limited edition poster (available in 500 numbered versions of the set only).

Pricing is yet to be announced.

All the more disappointing because this kind of release is so very possible if the parties involved spoke to each other to make it happen.

This would sell like hotcakes.

Have to admit I didn't notice it right away either, but it's a good joke. Look at it on the bright side, folks, at least we don't have to part with a lot of cash to buy something we already own!

Even though it's not true, let's just dream for a minute how nice it would have been.

I would have bought two of these and kept one skrink wrapped forever.
