Prince "Sign O’ the Times" reizdanje sa čak 63 ranije neobjavljene pesme

Mada stara izreka kaže "O pokojniku sve najlepše", ne može se ipak prećutati da je Prince bio sklon megalomaniji. Ta osobina ipak će obradovati njegove poštovaoce. Uobičajeno je naime da izvođač prilikom snimanja albuma stvori i snimi na nivou demo snimka (sa nešto manje pažljivo obavljenim miksom) nekoliko numera više od predviđenog trajanja albuma. Ali Prince je za album Sign O' The Times snimio ukupno 92 pesme, od kojih se na dvostrukom albumu našlo 16 pesama, 63 ostalo do danas u fijokama, a ostale je Prinsova zadužbina dozirano puštala u javnost.

Neke od tih pesama su pravi dragulji, poput juče objavljene "Witness 4 The Prosecution". Zato je kupovina ovog "super de luxe" reizdanja zapravo dobra ideja za sve poštovaoce Prinsovog rada.
