Recorded shortly after The Revolution disbanded in 1986, Camille was planned for release under a pseudonym using distorted vocals. Versions of Feel U Up and Strange Relationship date back to '81 and '83. The Camille project was assigned a Warner Brothers catalog number and planned for release in January '87, with Shockadelica as the lead single. Wendy Melvoin and Lisa Coleman appear on Strange Relationship (although their contributions were buried in the mix), and Susannah Melvoin is featured on Rockhard In a Funky Place. As the project further developed into Crystal Ball, seven of the eight tracks were kept. Ultimately, Housequake, Strange Relationship, and If I Was Your Girlfriend remained as the Crystal Ball project became Sign o' the Times.
