Description
Highly Ranked in all of the "Best Albums of All Time" lists, Sign 'O' The Times is sprawling, eclectic, and messy,
Sign 'o' the Times (stylized as "Sign "☮︎" the Times) is the ninth studio album by American singer, songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist Prince.
Overflowing with musical ideas and topical lyrics that sound just as relevant today as they did when they were initially released, Prince’s iconic double album Sign O’ The Times captured the artist in a period of complete reinvention.
The final 16-track album included just some of the countless songs Prince recorded in the prolific period of 1985-1987, which saw the dissolution of his band The Revolution, the construction of his innovative recording complex, Paisley Park, and the creation (and ultimate abandonment) of the albums Dream Factory, Camille, and Crystal Ball.

External Reviews
"It begins with the insistent drip-drop of a sequencer and ends with some old school R&B. In between, the artist who was still calling himself Prince unfurls an encyclopaedia of moods, genres and grooves. Widely heralded as a groundbreaker in 1987, when it was released, some of the music in oh-so-80s synths sounds a bit dated. Yet this double- length set is clearly the sound of a performer at the height of his power. On songs like the title track, "If I Was Your Girlfriend" and the thunderous "The Cross", Prince proves why the hype was justified." - Amy Linden.
"Serious fans know the original album is possibly Prince's greatest." - Ebay Review.
"Prince's second double album swashbuckles from bare-bones electro-funk and smooth soul to pseudo-psychedelic pop and crunching hard rock in thrilling, satisfying fashion." - Google Review.
