Advantages: An original sounding double disc Disadvantages: Some of the songs are a little dated
a transitional period in his distinct style. If you?re unfamiliar with Prince or his music, or if, like a lot of people, you?re only familiar with the single ?Purple Rain?, this album isn?t really the best place to start. In those circumstances, try the more mainstream offerings, such as the ?Purple Rain LP?, ?The Gold Experience?, or even his latest outing ?Musicology?.
But back to ?Sign O? The Times?. There are 16 tracks in total, spread over two discs, and all tracks are produced, arranged, composed and performed by Prince (there?s control-freakery for you!).

Even those of you out there who believe they know little or nothing about Hendrix, tracks like Purple Haze, Hey Joe, All Along The Watchtower, Crosstown Traffic, Foxy Lady and Voodoo Child (Slight Return) will have probably been heard by you at some point along the road in your life - guutaring excellence you see!
