Prince's 1987 album Sign o' the Times is getting treated to an expanded reissue, complete with 63 previously unreleased tracks and a complete, previously unreleased concert film.
The reissue will arrive in September through Warner in a variety of formats, headed up by a 13-LP/DVD Super Deluxe edition.
As you'll find with the lengthy tracklist below, the set will feature a remastered Sign o' the Times alongside single mixes and edits, a load of tracks from the vault, and a complete live performance in Utrecht from the 1987 "Sign o' the Times Tour."
