Holy Christmas, Batman! It’s been announced that my favorite Prince<\/strong><\/a> album, Sign o’ the Times<\/strong><\/em><\/a>, will be released in an 8 CD\/1 DVD Super Deluxe Edition<\/strong><\/a> this coming September.
\n\"Prince's<\/a>The Super Deluxe Edition includes all the audio material that Prince officially released in 1987, as well as 45 previously unissued studio songs recorded between May 1979 and July 1987, and a complete live audio performance from the June 20, 1987 stop on the “Sign O\u2019 The Times” Tour at Stadium Galgenwaard in Utrecht, The Netherlands. <\/em><\/p>\n

Also included is a brand-new DVD containing the complete, previously unreleased New Year\u2019s Eve benefit concert at Paisley Park on December 31, 1987, which was Prince\u2019s final performance of the “Sign O\u2019 The Times” Tour stage show and his only on-stage collaboration with jazz legend Miles Davis. <\/em><\/p>\n

The Super Deluxe Edition set also features a 120-page hardcover book containing Prince\u2019s previously unseen handwritten lyrics for many of the songs from the era, including the hits \u201cU Got The Look,\u201d \u201cI Could Never Take The Place Of Your Man,\u201d and \u201cHot Thing,\u201d iconic unseen images from the era taken by Prince\u2019s primary photographer in the mid-1980s to early 90s, Jeff Katz, plus images of archive assets including original analog tape reels and studio tracking sheets.<\/em><\/p>\n
