Prince's 'Sign o' the Times' to get deluxe reissue

The treasures continue from Prince’s vault with the upcoming release of expanded editions of 1987’s “Sign o’ the Times,” arguably his best album.

On Sept. 25, Warner Bros. and the Prince estate will issue three versions of “Sign o’ the Times,” which was a double album.

The super deluxe edition will feature 92 audio tracks, including 63 previously unreleased (45 from studio recordings) as well as a DVD of a legendary New Year’s Eve concert in 1987 at Paisley Park with guest Miles Davis.

The reissue will be available in vinyl, CD and streaming formats. In addition to the super deluxe edition (8 CDs or LPs plus DVD), there is a deluxe edition (3 CDs or LPs) and a remastered version (2CDs or LPs).

The super deluxe set will include a 120-page hardcover book with handwritten lyrics, photos by Jeff Katz and liner notes by Dave Chappelle, Lenny Kravitz and others.

“Sign o’ the Times” featured such Prince favorites as “Hot Thing,” “Starfish and Coffee,” “U Got the Look,” “Housequake,” “Adore” and “The Cross.”
