Crucial Vinyl: Prince's Sign o' the Times

Don's selections cross time, space and genre, plus his Crucial Vinyl is Prince's 1987 release Sign o' the Times.

Don's selections cross time, space and genre and include new releases, alongside classics and overlooked gems from the UK, USA, Jamaica and beyond.

He also selects another piece of Crucial Vinyl from his album collection and features three key tracks from it. He explains how it first came across it and why it means so much to him. This week it's Sign o'the Times, released by Prince in 1987.

Don says, "Man, it was hard to pick one album from Prince, but this is the one where everything he was great at - and that's pretty much anything he touches - came together. It's a mix of soul, rock, psychedelic pop and funk, all blended together seamlessly. Lyrically, the songs cover a wide range of emotions, that'll move you from the dance floor to the bedroom - an absolute must have".
