I feel that were on the brink of something. It is going to be strict and wild and pretty. Prince, 1986

More than any other release in his four-decade-long recording career, Prince’s iconic double albumSign O’ The Timescaptured the artist in a period of complete reinvention. Primarily recorded between the end of 1985 and beginning of 1987, the era saw the dissolution of his band The Revolution, the end of his engagement to Susannah Melvoin, and the creation (and ultimate abandonment) of the albumsDream Factory, Camille, andCrystal Ball. By the end of that period of transformation, Prince emerged with one of his most urgent and wide-ranging releases to date an epochal double album that would be hailed as a creative, critical, and commercial triumph. Remastered 2 CD album.
