Rebirth Of The Flesh was released as an mp3 download as part of NPG Music Club Edition # 8. The released version was a rehearsal version from 1988 (labelled Rebirth Of The Flesh (Rehearsal '88)), from rehearsals for the aborted US leg of the Sign O' The Times Tour. No other details about musicians, recording date or location were given, but Greg Brooks is audible and also named in the song, which dates it to being recorded somewhere before mid February 1988 when he and Wally Safford left the band. The studio version remains unreleased.
Initial tracking for the studio version were recorded on 28 October, 1986 at Sunset Sound, Hollywood, CA, USA (the day after a re-recording of Feel U Up, the same day as Rockhard In A Funky Place, two days before Good Love). It was included as the first track on the 5 November, 1986 configuration of the Camille album (credited to the pseudonym Camille), which was later aborted. A few weeks later, it was included as the first track on the first disc of the triple-album Crystal Ball on the 30 November, 1986 configuration. The track was removed when the album was eventually pared down and became Sign O' The Times.
