The box sets also deliver an entire previously unreleased audio recording of Prince’s Sign O’ The Times tour performance in Utrecht from 20 June 1987 and a DVD (NTSC, region free) with a complete previously unreleased recording of Prince’s benefit performance at Paisley Park, 31 December 1987 (featuring Prince’s only on-stage collaboration with Miles Davis). Like the album itself these have all been remastered by Bernie Grundman. It’s an embarrassment of riches and of course as well as all this unreleased material, the super deluxe editions contain a CD (or two LPs) of all the commercially released seven-inch edits, 12-inch remixes, B-sides, dub mixes and more. These songs include ‘ Rebirth of the Flesh‘, two completely different versions of ‘ Witness 4 the Prosecution‘ and ‘ Wonderful Day‘ (again two versions, one of which is a 12-inch remix). The 45 vault tracks are full of unreleased gems including a 1979 version of ‘ I Could Never Take The Place Of Your Man‘, two unreleased versions of ‘ Strange Relationship‘ (including a Shep Pettibone club remix!), alternate versions of ‘ The Ballad of Dorothy Parker‘ and ‘ Forever in My Life‘ and a fantastic amount of songs that Prince simply never issued, many of which were destined for three aborted albums conceived in 1986: The Dream Factory, Camille and Crystal Ball.
