Does anyone know what the Dream Factory's tracklist was supposed to include? It was supposed to be a double album, right?

why is "a place in heaven" twice on this album?

My guess would be this... if you listen to the original Dream Factory (bootleg) then you'll notice a dialogue between Lisa and Wendy and a security guard at a nightclub (Prince). In the background is a song playing backwards. That song is, you guessed it "A Place In Heaven (Lisa's Vocals)". I'm not sure if the 'forward' spelled version was meant to be the Price vocal version or the Lisa vocal version, though.

The question that I have is on the song "Visions". What song is that?

It's a Piano instrumental.I have the dream factory remastered boot.The quality is excellent.

BTW, i'm not sure the security guard is Prince, infact i'm 100% positive on that.

beautiful piano instrumental by Lisa

...and I only have some noisy mp3's of Dream Factory, so you're making me jealous here.

final tracklisting for Dream Factory...

side one:
1. Visions
2. Dream Factory
3. Train
4. The Ballad Of Dorothy Parker
5. It

side two:
1. Strange Relationship
2. Starfish & Coffee
3. Slow Love
4. I Could Never Take The Place Of Your Man

side three:
1. Sign O' The Times
2. A Place In Heaven
3. Crystal Ball

side four:
1. The Cross
2. Last Heart
3. Witness 4 The Prosecution
4. Movie Star
5. All My Dreams

There are also 2 interludes, one before Dream Factory
(often called 'Nevaeh Ni Ecalp A') which uses various
samples and some dialogue by Wendy & Lisa plus part of
A Place In Heaven played backwards. And another one
before Slow Love (sometimes refered to as 'Wendys
Guitar'). These would be unlikely to have been credited
on the album as tracks in their own right (the ones
on ATWIAD weren't). The reason they're often included
in tracklistings is because they're listed on the
mastertape.

On an earlier version of Dream Factory the 'Neveah Ni
Ecalp A' segue was used before 'Sexual Suicide', and
the 'Wendys Guitar' segue was used before 'In A Large
Room With No Light', and there was another segue of the
band tuning up and improvising before 'Power Fantastic'.

The tracklisting for this earlier version is...

side one:
1. Visions
2. Dream Factory
3. It's A Wonderful Day
4. The Ballad Of Dorothy Parker
5. It

side two:
1. Strange Relationship
2. Teacher Teacher
3. Starfish & Coffee
4. In A Large Room With No Light
5. Sexual Suicide

side three:
1. Crystal Ball
2. Power Fantastic

side four:
1. Last Heart
2. Witness 4 The Prosecution
3. Movie Star
4. A Place In Heaven
5. All My Dreams

Is'nt "Wonderful Ass" and "Neon Telephone" on the album too?

NWF said:

No they weren't. They were from just before the Dream Factory sessions.
(but then so were some of the tracks that DID make it onto Dream Factory)

BorisFishpaw said:

Oh, OK

I like the tracklist for the earlier version better.

Me too!

Thanks for the info guys...even though I don't exactly know who is right.

There's really no right or wrong with this. Just two different configurations - the 'early' one is from June 1986 and the other one is from July 1986. All albums go through many sequences before the final configuration is decided.
