Following the massive commercial success of Purple Rain, Prince and the Revolution released this daring follow-up in April 1985. Around the World in a Day is a reissue of Prince's seventh studio album, a psychedelic departure that traded arena rock anthems for exotic instrumentation and dreamy soundscapes. This black vinyl pressing with gatefold jacket captures the bold artistic vision that saw Prince pulling in Middle Eastern instruments like darbuka drums, finger cymbals, and oud to create something entirely unexpected from pop music's reigning superstar.
The album's musical palette ranges from the whimsical pop of "Raspberry Beret" (which peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100) to the utopian anthem "Paisley Park" and the socially conscious grooves of "Pop Life" (No. 7). These Top 10 singles showcase Prince's gift for crafting infectious melodies within adventurous arrangements. The percussion-driven "Tamborine" strips funk down to its essentials, while tracks like "The Ladder" and "Temptation" explore spiritual themes over lush, expansive productions. This is Prince at his most fiercely independent, refusing to repeat himself even at the peak of his commercial powers.
This vinyl edition delivers Prince's intricate production through warm analog sound, highlighting the album's rich layering of synthesizers, strings, and unconventional percussion. The gatefold packaging honors the original vision, including the distinctive cover art that drew comparisons to classic psychedelic album designs. Mastered for vinyl, this pressing brings clarity to the dense arrangements while preserving the organic textures that define the record's sonic identity.
