Well, it's not quite that easy.
You'd have to decide between 'Dream Factory' OR 'Crystal Ball'
sessions as the Revolution split would make a HUGE difference.
Yes I know some of the Dream Factory tracks ended up on
Crystal Ball, but ONLY the ones that had little or no Revolution
input. Personally I would have loved to see a 3CD set of
Crystal Ball tracks have been released, but having seen the
Sign O' The Times movie, I would definitely liked to have seen
a few of the tracks re-recorded more in the style of the movie
versions.

Here's what i would have liked to have seen released...
(all versions the same as on SOTT except where noted)

side one:
SIGN O’ THE TIMES
PLAY IN THE SUNSHINE
HOUSEQUAKE
THE BALLAD OF DOROTHY PARKER (jazzy version, like on SOTT rehearsals)

side two:
STRANGE RELATIONSHIP
STARFISH & COFFEE
SLOW LOVE
HOT THING
ROCKHARD IN A FUNKY PLACE

side three:
CRYSTAL BALL (The Ball and Crystal Ball segued together into one long 15 min track)
JOY IN REPETITION (with full intro)

side four:
U GOT THE LOOK (with 12" intro and ending)
IF I WAS YOUR GIRLFRIEND (new version, more like live rendition)
SOULPSYCHEDELICIDE (not the outtake, but a jazzy funky previously untitled instrumental)
IT

side five:
BOB GEORGE (yes, it was recorded before SOTT was released)
SHOCKADELICA (long version)
I COULD NEVER TAKE THE PLACE OF YOUR MAN (new version, faster, more like live version)
FOREVER IN MY LIFE

side six:
THE CROSS
IT’S GONNA BE A BEAUTIFUL NIGHT (new version, faster, more like live version)
ADORE
