Curious: If you don't have "Sign O' The Times," are you listening to the version from "The Hits"? If so, you don't have the whole song. Get a copy of "SOTT" and prepare to be blown away by the full version. I swear, it transports you to another realm. Beware of listening to the guitar solo/breakdown while driving!

there's an alternate version "floating around" that was allegedly supposed to be part of the dream factory album - it's not quite as good as the version on SOTT - it's a bit choppy to me, and it doesn't flow quite right to my ears - but there is some additional instrumental stuff that makes it worth listening to. | |

I was surprised purusing those sample pages from Uptown's The Vault book that this song was first written back in 82 or 83, I think. Could there be a boot version that's that old floating around? Every now and then

Of course, Prince played a new version during a few of the One Nite Alone soundchecks,
and at the 2002 Celebration. It's a bluesy version, and I was floored at how cool it sounded when I first heard it at the celebration! Of all the rumors about him releasing a CD of "re-recorded" hits the past few years, that's the one I would love to hear. If it breaks when it bends, you better not put it in. | |

thanx I have the dream Factory and it is basically the same song just the guitar solos are arranged differently. And there is a brief guitar intro, which is reallly nice, but really doesn't fit with the song. The real illness is Strange Relationship from DF with the sitar. 1980-Present

Whoa...funny you should mention that since I was listening to it yesterday while driving! Powerful huh?  I will do today what you won't, so tomorrow I can do what you can't. | |

The real illness is Strange Relationship from DF with the sitar. i coulda sworn there was a little bit of instrumental stuff in the DF version that's not in the SOTT version...maybe the solos are arranged in a way that plays tricks with my ears, i dunno...but yeah, in my opinion, the DF version doesn't work as well as what we're all used to. | |
