Album Description
Available in:
Around the World in a Day is the seventh studio album by American recording artist Prince and The Revolution. It was released on April 22, 1985 by Paisley Park Records and Warner Bros. Records. In compliance with Prince's wishes, the record company released the album with minimal publicity, not even releasing an accompanying single until almost a full month after the album's release. Prince made the request because he preferred the public to first experience the record in its entirety rather than through any particular song.
Despite the low-key promotion and the material on the album being overall not as radio-friendly as Purple Rain, it still had two U.S. top 10 hits, went double platinum and was an important step in Prince's musical evolution, incorporating new instruments and musical styles. This, taken together with the psychedelic vibe that pervades much of the record, drew numerous comparisons to The Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band album.
User Album Review
Prince was so tired touring Purple Rain after that tour he wanted to write his next album in a polar opposite musical style. As a result Around The World In A Day divided the critics.
Released under the credit Prince & The Revolution, Around The World In A Day became the first album released on Prince’s own label, Paisley Park Records, a subsidiary of Warner Brothers, funded from the proceeds of his success with the Purple Rain movie, album and tour. He wanted this album to be very different and opted for a psychedelic slant. Because of that Prince was criticised for abandoning his black roots and fans and critics alike were hoping for a continuation of the previous album’s gusto.
Around The World In A Day is spiritual and less accessible that Prince’s previous albums it in result sold just 3 million copies in the USA and is twice certificed Platinum by the RIAA. It did, however, remain in the Billboard Top 40 for six months, mainly due to the inclusion of the single Raspberry Beret, which itself peaked at number 2.
