Sign O’ The Times Tour  
Sounds O’ The Times is the fifth promotional compilation album by Prince, available in Spring 1987 on cassette in the UK only, to be played in stores to promote the Sign O’ The Times Tour. Several dates scheduled in the UK on early itineraries never materialized, including four dates at London’s Earl’s Court, which were canceled due to an error in obtaining the necessary permits.

The cassette includes fourteen tracks which had all been previously released as singles between 1979 and 1987. Prince had released nine albums at that point, but neither For You nor Controversy were represented on this collection.
