3 Abandoned Prince Albums That Became Sign o' the Times

Dream Factory This album was recorded in 1986 with Prince’s band the Revolution, but he scrapped it when the group disbanded.

Camille Prince recorded this as a pseudonymous alter ego with a sped-up voice. He abandoned the project after a few tracks.

Crystal Ball This was planned as a triple album, but Prince’s label forced him to cut it down. The best songs from all three projects were combined into Sign o’ the Times.
