PrinceAround the World in a Day
$29.00Call to Order
A psychedelic left turn that deliberately abandoned the Purple Rain formula. Prince layered darbuka drums, finger cymbals, oud, and swirling flute over his signature Linn drums and DX7 synths. A paisley tapestry of dreamy, kaleidoscopic sound. 'Raspberry Beret' is warm, breezy pop perfection with a narrative charm. 'Paisley Park' chimes with carnival energy and finger cymbals. 'Condition of the Heart' opens with a patient piano intro that rewards with devastating balladry. He started recording before the Purple Rain film even opened. Refusing to repeat himself. Newly remastered on blue marble color vinyl.
