Right.. onto this exciting sale…
I’m have a really bad habit of buying box sets etc..
I really REALLY NEED/MUST HAVE whatever it is.
It arrives .. I like it..
Then I put it in a box in my office.. and there it sits.. never being looked at again.
Nearly always never even opened..
So.. what’s the point?
May as well go to somebody who will love it more than I can!!!
SO I’m clearing some of these..
Here we have
Prince- Sign of the Times Vinyl and CD Super Deluxe box set..
Sign O' The Times Remastered Super Deluxe Edition (13LP 180g + 1 DVD)
I feel that we’re on the brink of something. It is going to be strict
and wild and pretty.” — Prince, 1986
New and sealed super deluxe 180g vinyl 13LP + DVD box set from Prince entitled 'Sign O' The Times'.
Housed in a 12” box, and accompanied by a 12” 120-page
hardback book featuring:
o Brand new liner notes by: Prince’s creative peers and friends Dave Chappelle
(in conversation with photographer Mathieu Bitton) and Lenny Kravitz; Prince’s
longtime engineer Susan Rogers; Daphne A. Brooks, William R. Kenan, Jr.
Professor of African American Studies, American Studies and Women’s, Gender
& Sexuality Studies at Yale University; Minneapolis radio host and author
Andrea Swensson, host of the Official Prince Podcast; and Prince scholar Duane
Tudahl.
o Rare and previously unseen photography by Jeff Katz
o Prince’s handwritten lyrics
63 previously unreleased tracks, and a previously unreleased 2+ hour video concert performance from Prince’s legendary vault that illuminates his wide-ranging and prolific creativity in this era. Following the successful release of the 1999 Super Deluxe Edition in the fall of 2019, the Sign O’ The Times Super Deluxe Edition represents the deepest dive to date into Prince’s vault and includes a total of 92 audio tracks across thirteen LPs.
More than any other release in his four-decade-long recording career,
Prince's iconic double album Sign O' The Times captured the artist in a
period of complete reinvention.
Primarily recorded between the end of 1985 and beginning of 1987, the era saw
the dissolution of his band The Revolution, the end of his engagement to
Susannah Melvoin, and the creation (and ultimate abandonment) of the albums Dream
Factory, Camille, and Crystal Ball. By the end of that period of
transformation, Prince emerged with one of his most urgent and wide-ranging
releases to date — an epochal double album that would be hailed as a creative,
critical, and commercial triumph.
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’ The Times Tour at Stadium Galgenwaard
in Utrecht, The Netherlands.
Also included is a brand-new DVD containing the complete, previously unreleased
New Year’s Eve benefit concert at Paisley Park on December 31, 1987, which was
Prince’s final performance of the Sign O’ The Times Tour stage show and
his only on-stage collaboration with jazz legend Miles Davis.
The Super Deluxe Edition set also features a 120-page hardcover book containing
Prince’s previously unseen handwritten lyrics for many of the songs from the
era, including the hits “U Got The Look,” “I Could Never Take The Place Of Your
Man,” and “Hot Thing,” iconic unseen images from the era taken by Prince’s
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.
The Super Deluxe Edition book is completed with brand-new liner notes by
Prince’s creative peers and friends Dave Chappelle (in conversation with
photographer Mathieu Bitton) and Lenny Kravitz; Prince’s longtime engineer
Susan Rogers; Daphne A. Brooks, Professor of African American Studies, American
Studies, and Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies at Yale University;
Minneapolis radio host and author Andrea Swensson, host of the Official Prince
Podcast; and Prince scholar and author Duane Tudahl.
