About The Record:

Around the World in a Day was released with minimal publicity, without an accompanying single until almost a full month after the album's release. Prince made the request because he preferred the public to first experience the record in its entirety rather than through any particular song. Despite the low-key promotion and the material on the album being overall not as radio-friendly as Purple Rain, it still had two U.S. top 10 hits (Raspberry Beret and Pop Life), went double platinum and was an important step in Prince's musical evolution, incorporating new instruments and musical styles. .
