Prince Signed "Around the World in a Day" Album.
Prince has signed this "Around the World in a Day" album cover, "Love God, Prince" in blue ballpoint pen.
"Around the World in a Day" is the seventh studio album by Prince, and the second release on which his backing band the Revolution is billed. It was released on April 22, 1985, by Paisley Park Records and Warner Bros. Records. Departing somewhat from the commercial sound of his previous release, the massively successful "Purple Rain" (1984), the album instead saw Prince experimenting with psychedelic styles and more opulent textures. In compliance with Prince's wishes, the record company released the album with minimal publicity, withholding accompanying singles until almost a month after the album's release.
Prince was beloved by fans and music critics alike, who were devastated by his tragic, untimely death in 2016. He was a singer, multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, record producer, and actor. The recipient of numerous awards and nominations, he is widely regarded as one of the greatest musicians of his generation. Prince was known for his flamboyant, androgynous persona; his wide vocal range, which included a far-reaching falsetto and high-pitched screams; and his skill as a multi-instrumentalist, often preferring to play all or most of the instruments on his recordings (he played all the instruments on this debut studio album). His music incorporated a wide variety of styles, including funk, R&B, rock, new wave, soul, synth-pop, pop, jazz, blues, and hip hop.
Condition: Very good. Vinyl included.
