The original album was remastered by Bernie Grundman, who also did the mastering of the initial release in 1987. Grundman also worked on the third disc, Promo mixes and B-Sides Remastered which contains all the edited versions, remixes and B-sides that were officially released on singles to promote the album in 1987. All other songs on the released have [the 2020 remaster] label as well, but are in fact first mastered by Grundman and released for the first time in 2020.

The fourth, fifth and sixth volumes of the CD-version, Vault Tracks I, Vault Tracks II and Vault Tracks III contain 29 previously unreleased songs (some in different versions) and eleven previously unreleased versions (alternate or initial takes) of songs recorded between May 1979 (the original version of I Could Never Take The Place Of Your Man) and July 1987 (songs intended for a project with Bonnie Raitt) that didn't come to fruition. It should be noted that while from the right era, some of these songs were never considered for the Sign O' The Times album.

The Prince Estate intended to include the Sign O' The Times film on DVD in the Super Deluxe set, but the legal complications over the rights (which have passed between several companies since Prince sold them to Cineplex Odeon Films in 1987) prevented them from doing so.
