A sprawling double album that shows the full range of Prince's genius, from stark social commentary to ecstatic funk and tender soul. Often cited as his masterpiece. Dense, generous and rewarding. Released in 1987, it's the kind of later record that serious fans treasure.
On vinyl: Second-hand copies circulate widely; a clean original can be better value than a new repress.
