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 one of Prince's later high points.
On vinyl: Vintage copies and modern reissues both circulate — worth comparing condition and remaster notes before you buy.
