Different Version of Sign O' the Times I apologize profusely if this has already been posted or otherwise debated here, but I was wondering what you guys think of this perspective on Sign O' the Times:

Yes, this is very old news. Not necessarily this particular article, but the topic in general has been discussed ad nauseam

This maybe stupid but Was DreamFactory ever released as a bootleg? Or is everything on Crystal Ball? Why is your Organ so small?
I didn't know I was playing in a cathedral. Vicky didn't laugh at all! | |

Yes, you can get the whole album on bootleg ("Dream Factory Remastered" - Sabotage 193) in near perfect sound quality ... if you know where to look. There are three sides to every story. My side, your side, and the truth. And no one is lying. Memories shared serve each one differently | |

For Psykosoul:
Why was a quasi-live and very conventional jam like “It’s Gonna Be A Beautiful Night” deserve album cut status,

I can understand. When new to this the outtake part of the Prince universe is like Walhalla. I cannot wait until I get my copy of The Vault. | |

That's some fucked up article. Oh, yes. Yes, leaving off "It's Gonna Be A Beautiful Night" and "Adore" and replacing them with "Wonderful Ass" would have made it a far more superior album.  | |

Well Camille and Crystal Ball are official final tracklists. Dream Factory however is merely the last configuration to be sequenced before the album was shelved (it would have almost certainly undergone a few more changes had it ever been released). It's also worth noting that there are slight discrepancies in the exact track order for this version of Dream Factory between bootlegs and Uptown's listing (I've changed the above tracklisting to show the bootleg order, but personally I'm more inclined to believe the originally posted Uptown verified sequence).

I really think "Wonderful Ass" should have made it onto a Prince album.It's a terrific song and I'm sure he could have squeezed it onto 'SOTT' somewhere.I'd rather have this track instead of the filler track "It's Gonna Be a Beautiful Night". | |

Sign O' The Times' running time is fairly short(ish), and you easily fit at least 2 more tracks on
there without any problem at all. Prince could have fitted another 10ish minutes of music on there easily before starting to sacrifice loudness and quality. | |
