Sign o' the Times is the ninth studio album by American singer, songwriter, producer, and t Prince. It was first released as a double album on March 30, 1987, by Paisley Park Records and Warner Bros. The album is the follow-up to Parade (1986) and is Prince's first album following his disbanding of the Revolution
Prince wanted Sign O' The Times to be a triple album called "The Crystal Ball," but in a rare rebuke, his record company refused, and instead it was pared down to a double album. This was one of the first significant conflicts between Prince and Warner Bros. Records; over the next few years Prince grew to resent the label, which was restricting his output. This led to his name change and public appearances with the word "slave" written on his face. The B-side was "La La La He He He," which appears only on the collection The Hits/The B-Sides
While the music overflows with generous spirit, these are among the most cryptic, insular songs he's ever written.
THE GRAMMY NOMINATED ALBUM OF THE YEAR The "Sign O The Times" album represented the pinnacle of Prince's career, with its blend of songs and music styles. On its original (cinematic and video) release this film was more or less declared to be the "Greatest Concert Film" ever made. Prince and his 1987 entourage whiz, slide, jump and bounce around the stage during the collection of 14 classic songs

Album · 1987 · 16 Songs. From the three-chord melody of Starfish & Coffee, to the acoustic guitar hymn of The Cross, to the ominous groove of the title track that spoke to the deep anxieties of the late ‘80s, Prince’s operatic songcraft is in full gear. Whether it’s the emotional vulnerability all over the thump of Hot Thing, the thunder of Housequake, or the sax serenade of Slow Love, the album made it clear that Michael couldn’t touch this talent
