Sign of the Times as a single album If you HAD to make SOTT a single album (say cut It down to 10 songs)… which songs would you keep and which would you cut out?? I know this might upset people as the general consensus is that it is PERFECT, but I would be interested in seeing what people pick..

just ditch "it's gonna be a beautiful night" and the whole thing
fits perfectly on a single disc  and true love lives on lollipops and crisps | |

i have the whole thing on one disc. i don't know how it got worked out...i think bits of fade-outs were shaved down here and there...but someone very graciously sent me a fan-remastered version of the entire SOTT album on one 80 minute CDR. | |

i guess i could replace it with Crystal Ball though  and true love lives on lollipops and crisps | |

fits perfectly on a single disc i feel that way about 'soul love', though somewhere over the last 20 years i've learned to accept it, kinda like that socially inept step-relative who came into the family and nobody liked, but eventually you had to be nice to because you realized they weren't going anywhere. | |

I used to love Slow Love. Now I'm not fond of it. I don't dislike it yet, but it's a track I will skip when I'm not in the "full album" mood. | |

I don't see why every1 wants to ditch "Beautiful Night"
I think its a good track  Reality is an illusion

I did the same thing. I just takes a few minor tweaks to get it to fit. | |

Beautiful Night is a little too busy against the rest of the CD. It is a great song but SOTT feels like a demo almost. Like he was still working on it. Beautiful does not maintain that feeling, it breaks the whole demo feel. Slow Love again is very slick and over-produced. Great songs but not that demo like feel. Like Dirty Mind is an example of Prince doing an album like that | |

"beautiful night" sounds like a fun wrap party at the end of a very long production, and "adore" is like the epilogue. that's how i've always interpreted it. | |

Then I think (which is just me being picky) I was a little upset that the version in the movie was different from the one the TAPE (that's for the old school folks)! OFF TOPIC FOR A MOMENT - I wish that the Muppet Starfish and Coffee remix was availble. Please continue with the topic | |

SOTT isn't perfect in my view
there are classic songs and overrated songs to me, it should have been a single LP I think if the tracklisting was : Sign O the Times It's Gonna Be A Beautiful Night The Ballad of Dorothy Parker Strange relationship If I Was Ur Girlfriend The Cross Adore Starfish And Coffee It would be perfect |
