Prince and Sign o’ the Times Book Details
Prince’s Sign o’ the Times is linked to a new book and details about the album’s creation and 40th anniversary.
Prince gained an important position in pop music in the early 1980s with the success of his 1999 album. In 1986, Prince had a major hit with Kiss from the soundtrack of the film Under the Cherry Moon.
Sign o’ the Times is described as Prince’s final masterpiece from 1987. At one point, Prince considered making another album with The Revolution or releasing an album based on the Camille character.
Prince’s record label opposed the idea of a triple album, and Sign o’ the Times was released instead as an 80-minute, two-LP album. The album’s first hit was its title track, Sign o’ the Times.
Sign o’ the Times will reach its 40th anniversary in March. The book Prince: A Sign o’ the Times was published in the United Kingdom by Blink Publishing and will be released in the United States by Simon & Schuster on 13 October.
