Prince And The Revolution - Around The World In A Day - 40Th Anniversary Rsd Bf

Fakta Prince’s seventh studio album, the second to be credited to Prince and the Revolution, Around The World In A Day, was released on April 22, 1985. Such was Prince’s prolific output it came just ten months after the Academy Award-winning hit album, Purple Rain, and a mere three weeks after the conclusion of the Purple Rain Tour. Featuring no fewer than four singles, Around The World In A Day saw Prince and the Revolution change musical direction yet again, experimenting with psychedelic textures, incorporating new instrumentation, and expanding the genres of songs within the album.
To celebrate the 40th anniversary of the album, the Prince Estate in partnership with Warner Records and Legacy Recordings, will release Around The World In A Day: The Singles, exclusively for RSD Black Friday. With audio newly remastered by original mastering engineer Bernie Grundman, with additional mastering by Chris James, the limited edition 7" box set features all four singles from the album (“Raspberry Beret", “Paisley Park", “Pop Life", and “America"), plus a brand new exclusive 7" single of the 1985 track “4 The Tears In Your Eyes", which Prince originally contributed to the We Are The World album. Each 7" is presented on a unique vinyl color and presented in their original 7" sleeves, in a clamshell box, all featuring elements of the Around The World In A Day LP sleeve, originally designed by Doug Henders.
