- I didn't think much of this one when it came out, but a friend was playing it recently and I was struck by how well it holds up today as a demented psychedelic soul masterpiece. "Temptation" might go on a bit long, but it's got a groove that kicks ass. "Pop Life", "Paisley Park", "Around The World In A Day", "Raspberry Beret" and "Tamborine" have an irresistibly breezy quality. I guess at the time I was expecting more of the same, but now I think it rates among his best albums, and certainly among the more unique in his catalogue. This pressing sounds very good, as long as you keep in mind that the low end is minimal. That's the way it was recorded, so that's the way it goes. My copy plays beautifully, with no surface noise of note.
- Edited one year agoPrince stated in his interview with the electricifying mojo detroit that this album was his favorite & the radio phone call interview part 1 & 2 is on YouTube
- Edited 7 months agoAlbum Revolution #5:
By the time "Purple Rain" came out, everyone and their Grandmama was trying to either, sound, look, or act like "Prince" (just like they did "Mike"!)......So even though "Around The World In A Day", wasn't considered a complete effort, it's sure a very good one!!!!!
With "ATWIAD", "Prince" along with "The Revolution" ("Wendy", "Lisa", "Brownmark", "Dr, Fink" and "Bobby Z."), threw all the styles of "Purple Pain" out the window!!!!! "Prince" obviously went into his Vinyl collection and pulled out his "Beatles" albums from "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" to "Let It Be", because it sure felt like this album benefited from those elements!!!!
It had HIT POWER like the Ultimate, Ultimate, Ultimate, Ultimate Crown Jewel, "Raspberry Beret", which had that "Mid-Eastern" vibe to it...
The next Ultimate, Ultimate, Ultimate, Ultimate, Crown Jewel, "Pop Life" (with "Sheila E." on Drums) talks about the pitfalls of SUPER STARDOM....
Then there are songs like the 3rd Ultimate Crown "Title Track" and 4th Crown Jewel, "Paisley Park", that showed that "Prince & The Revolution" really wanted to try different things Musically.....It Worked!!!!!! These particular songs have a "Psychedelic Soul" style to them...
My song is "Tamborine"!!!! This Ultimate, Ultimate, Ultimate Crown Jewel is FUNKY, and when cracked up, it just THUMPS!!!!!!
There are also songs like "Condition Of The Heart" (6th Crown Jewel) and "The Ladder", showing the versatility of "Prince's" Musical muses...All these particular songs benefited from having the same "Purple Rain" String players in "David Coleman", "Suzie Katayama", "Novi Novog", and having others like "Annette Atkinson", "Tim Barr", "Denyse Buffum", "Laury Woods", "Marcy Dicterow Vaj" and "Sid Page"....These MASTERFUL Musicians, seemed to bring a sense of growth that I am sure "Prince" craved at the time...
The album does end kind of odd though, with the closure "Temptation"...It was a two part joint, with the second part having a push and pull moment of Love VS. just Sex...."Eddie M. a/k/a Eddie Minninfield" (who was in "Sheila E.'s" Band at the time) provides prolific Saxophone playing to this Moody joint (he also killed it on "The Ladder")....
The one thing I will mention is that, it was a very good thing that "Prince" didn't try to duplicate the same formula as "Purple Rain".....I really feel like that would have been a disaster!!!!! This also started the "Paisley Park Records" imprint for him, with a mega complex to come....
Again, maybe not complete, but it's still a Prince Classic!!!!
PS: 6/28/2024: One day when I get some time, I will have some FUN, and put together MY OWN little "Around The World In A Day" Package....Since I have the Album, and the 12 inches for "America", "Pop Life", "Paisley Park", and MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE, "Raspberry Beret"...These would include the 12" B-Sides Classics, "Girl", "Hello", and the BEST B-Side EVER, "She's Always In My Hair"!!!!!!!! - Prince avoided releasing a copy of Purple Rain, which everyone expected. Luckily he didn't. Instead, he turned the corner with this album. His own Sgt. Pepper's album as I affectionately call it. Funky, Soul, Rock, Psychedelic. Keep an eye out for the 1st pressing. Perfect quality in sound and pressing.
- The most startling aspect behind the backstory of this classic is that much of it was conceived in the midst of the non-stop hysteria of Purple Rain's mega-success. While it isn't the total 180 turn from Purple Rain many make it out to be (some similar psychedelic whims stretched out on World were first sketched out in parts of Purple Rain), it certainly was as much of a departure work and gigantic leap forward in terms of Prince's musical development. In terms of business and hype strategy, Prince indeed took a page from the book of rock giants from the early 1970s who had reached a plateau of "we did it because we can" hubris. As he would do again later with 1988's Lovesexy, he wanted this to stand on its own as an artistic statement to be experienced from start to finish, without the typical pop marketing bells-and-whistles. Next to 1999, this stands as one of Prince's pivotal albums—an idiosyncratic, colorful masterpiece that stands in its own unique lane. I can't see where Prince's musical trajectory would've been without it.
This original 1985 Specialty Records pressing sounds excellent. A great deal of this original pressing goes very light on the lower frequencies, and there is room for improvement with tighter bass response. After comparing this pressing to the 2016 Kevin Gray reissue, I figured that it was intentional for this album to sound like that, as it has a distinctive AM radio-like sheen to it. Many sonic layers come to life on this pressing, as well as the Kevin Gaye reissue. Both pressings almost sound identical, but I give the edge to this original SR pressing in terms of the overall definition. - It is worth buying this album just for Raspberry Beret alone, it is a great dance-funk pop track that is certain to have you boogieing whatever your age and sexuality!!
- Condition Of The Heart has got to be one of his best... so delicate... feels like it could fall apart at any second
