<P> Prior to the disbanding of The Revolution , Prince was working on two separate projects , The Revolution album Dream Factory and a solo effort , Camille . Unlike the three previous band albums , Dream Factory included input from the band members and featured songs with lead vocals by Wendy & Lisa . The Camille project saw Prince create a new androgynous persona primarily singing in a sped - up , female - sounding voice . With the dismissal of The Revolution , Prince consolidated material from both shelved albums , along with some new songs , into a three - LP album to be titled Crystal Ball . Warner Bros. forced Prince to trim the triple album to a double album , and Sign o ' the Times was released on March 31 , 1987 . </P>
