Prince Fans.  Sign Of The Times Deluxe?

Hi, anybody heard the remastered version of 'Sign Of The Times' yet?  Just got it at the weekend and am blown away by it!  Bought it on vinyl when it came out in 87 and loved it but when I purchased the cd in the 90's the sound was just awful, quiet and just dull but this new version is incredible, on some tracks it sounds like he's in the room with you and the bonus tracks are a revelation.  Not a huge fan of deluxe reissues but these Prince ones are outstanding.

    Good morning Sandie, As with many of Prince's early 1980s albums, Sign o' the Times features extensive use of the Linn LM-1 drum machine on most songs.

    Though not as commercially successful as Purple Rain, Sign o' the Times was Prince's most acclaimed record.
