There’s a brand new groove goin’ round, and it sounds like the latest episode of Fire and Water Records! What could dethrone PURPLE RAIN as Prince’s all-time greatest album? How about 1987’s SIGN O’ THE TIMES, the epic double LP that took Prince from already-unparalleled greatness to unfathomable heights of creativity, leaving the Revolution behind in favor of a funkier, jazzier, richer sound with big horns and big ambition. On this special review episode, Ryan Daly, Neil Daly, and Chris Zegunis discuss SIGN O’ THE TIMES: Super Deluxe Edition, which features remastered album tracks and almost sixty singles, b-sides, and rarities, plus two live performances. Which songs standout as favorites? Which deep cuts deserve a closer look? Should any of the unreleased tracks have made the album cut? And above all, is this album Prince’s greatest masterpiece? Tune in and find out!
