Dream Factory

I want to burn two CDs to make this double CD album. I found the tracklist:

Disk 1

Visions
Dream Factory
Train
The Ballad Of Dorothy Parker
It
Strange Relationship
Slow Love
Starfish & Coffee
Interlude
I Could Never Take The Place Of Your Man
Sign O' The Times
Crystal Ball
A Place In Heaven
Last Heart
Witness 4 The Prosecution
Movie Star
The Cross
All My Dreams

Disk 2

It's A Wonderful Day
Teacher,Teacher
Sexual Suicide
Power Fantastic
In A Large Room With No Light
A Place In heaven
Witness 4 The Prosecution
Crystal Ball
Data Bank
Girl O' My Dreams
Can't Stop This Feeling I Got
We Can Funk
Big Tall Wall

Is this correct? Are there any specific versions of these songs I need?

Any help would be great.
Thanks

Mike

Dream Factory is just the first disc my friend. It was a double album because albums were shorter but it fits onto one cd.

As for versions...it might be tough to download them individually because some of them flow into each other and are specific for this project.

Yeah, Disc one is Dream Factory, disc two is just a
collection of outtakes from earlier configurations
of the album. Dream Factory was a double album on
vinyl not CD, here's the tracklist...

side one:
1. Visions (2:11)
2. Dream Factory (2:37) - shorter than on CB
3. Train (4:17)
4. The Ballad Of Dorothy Parker (3:58 ) - same as on SOTT
5. It (5:05) - same as on SOTT

side two:
1. Strange Relationship (4:24) - different version (not Camille)
2. Starfish & Coffee (2:45) - almost identical to SOTT
3. Slow Love (4:18 ) - same as on SOTT
4. I Could Never Take The Place Of Your Man (6:48 ) - longer version

side three:
1. Sign O' The Times (3:39) - shorter version than on SOTT
2. A Place In Heaven (2:42) - Lisa lead vocal version
3. Crystal Ball (9:29) - diff to CB, includes Wendy & Lisa vocals

side four:
1. The Cross (4:41) - same as on SOTT
2. Last Heart (2:58 ) - same as on CB
3. Witness 4 The Prosecution (3:56) - version with horns and Wendy & Lisa bv's
4. Movie Star (4:25) - almost the same as on CB
5. All My Dreams (7:09)
.

It's worth noting that this was the last version of the
album before it was shelved, and isn't necessarily how
the finished album would have appeared had it actually
been released (Prince has already said that Last Heart
was never finished).

This tracklisting was taken from Uptown's Days Of Wild
book, and differs slightly in running order to the
Dream Factory bootleg that was released (I'm more inclined
to believe Uptown's running order). There was also two
segues which I didn't include in my tracklist (as it is
highly unlikely that they would have been credited as
seperate tracks on the finished album). The first one is a
48 second segue of dialogue and backwards instruments that
comes between 'Visions' and 'Dream Factory', and is often
refered to as 'Nevaeh Ni Ecalp A' (due to it including
a portion of 'A Place In Heaven' backwards). The second
is a 58 second guitar interlude played by Wendy, which
comes inbetween 'Starfish & Coffee' and 'Slow Love'.

Thanks Boris. I have all the tracks now except Sign O' The Times. Is this short version just the version on The Hits?

My mistake, I meant to put "almost the same as on CB"
(I'll go back and correct it)

Not quite, it's the original shorter version of the song.
Instead of fading out like the 7" version, it has a proper
ending, like on the album version.
