Prince’s first post‑symbol album, The Rainbow Children arrived as a bold jazz‑funk concept work rooted in spiritual awakening, live musicianship, and narrative ambition. Released November 2001, it marked a dramatic stylistic shift and remains one of his most polarising, visionary statements.

Prince and the New Power Generation’s Love Symbol album arrived in October 1992 as an 18‑track fusion of funk, hip‑hop, rock, and pop, wrapped in a loose narrative about a princess, a reporter, and a city of intrigue. Issued in explicit and clean editions, it became a UK No. 1 and a defining statement of the Symbol era.

“Sign o’ the Times” was released on February 18, 1987 as the lead single from Prince’s landmark album of the same name. Originally intended for the cancelled Dream Factory and Crystal Ball projects, the track was constructed almost entirely on the Fairlight CMI, with Prince performing all vocals and instruments.

Released March 31, 1986, Parade delivered a sleek, psychedelic, French‑inflected soundtrack to Under the Cherry Moon and marked the final album by Prince and the Revolution. Critically acclaimed, platinum‑selling, and home to the No. 1 hit “Kiss,” it stands as one of Prince’s most elegant and inventive works.

Prince’s breakthrough double‑album returns to the UK in full form — restored, expanded, and riding the Purple Rain wave.
