“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.

Released June 25, 1984, Purple Rain became Prince’s defining masterpiece — a fusion of rock, funk, pop, and cinematic drama that reshaped 1980s music. Serving as the soundtrack to his film debut, it dominated global charts, earned major awards, and cemented Prince as a cultural force.
