Prince – Around The World In A Day

Limited vinyl LP pressing. Around The World In A Day is the seventh studio album by Prince, and the second to feature his backing band The Revolution. It was released on April 21, 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. Around the World became Prince and the Revolution’s second #1 album on the Billboard 200. Two of it’s four singles reached the Top 10: “Raspberry Beret” and “Pop Life”.
