The Paris Barcy show from Prince's 1987 "Sign of the Times" tour and the June 22 after show club gig in Munich, Germany are now available for the first time on the latest PGA label in a remastered 3-CD collector's edition. The Paris show on June 17, 1987 is a collector's favorite that has been released many times before, but the sound quality has been improved, and unlike previous releases, this is the first time the pitch has been corrected. The original master recording is the first time the pitch has been corrected. The difference is obvious when compared to the previous recordings. Also, "Beautiful Night," which was not included in the Paris show, is included in the restored version, using a different recording from the Utrecht show on the 22nd than the officially released version. The live performance of Madhouse, the opening act of this tour, is also included from the June 4 show in Stuttgart, Germany. The club gig with Madhouse in Munich, Germany on May 21 is also included in a pitch-corrected, high-quality soundboard recording. A must have from the "Sign of the Times" tour in 1987. This is the latest collector's edition of this must-have item from the 1987 "Sign of the Times" tour!
