Engineers include: David Leonard, Peggy Mac, David Tickle. On AROUND THE WORLD IN A DAY, the follow-up to their megahit PURPLE RAIN, Prince and the Revolution add a generous helping of psychedelia to their style, enlisting Prince's father along the way to co-write several songs, including the title track. Many critics at the time dismissed AROUND THE WORLD IN A DAY as a turkey follow-up to the outstanding PURPLE RAIN. However, the achingly beautiful ballad "Condition of the Heart," and the stunning "The Ladder," as well as the pop classic "Raspberry Beret," could easily sit beside the band's best material. Ballads and pop gems aside, Prince is as cocky and as sexually self-assured as ever on AROUND THE WORLD. When he vamps and winks his way through "Temptation," the epic album-closer, he moans "everybody on this earth has got a vice and mine, little darlin', is the opposite of ice."

I am slowly replacing the tapes with CDs. This CD was in perfect condition. Review ID: 10000000001752818 Was this review helpful? Report this review Review created: 04/18/06 by: 1 of 1 people found this review helpful. This is one of Prince's best CD's. Very funky and versatile. Condition of the Heart, one of the best ballads written next to The Beautiful Ones. I would have to say my favorite track from here is Paisley Park - kinda reminds me of Side Show by Blue Magic (not so much the music) but the lyrics. A must have in any Prince lover's collection Review ID: 10000000000878408 Was this review helpful? Report this review |
