About The Record:

Glam Slam, by Prince, released in 1988, is a promotional single from his tenth studio album, Lovesexy, showcasing his signature blend of funk, pop, and rock with a vibrant, dance-oriented sound. The track Glam Slam was not a major chart hit but served as a key promotional piece for the Lovesexy album, which marked Prince’s return to a more spiritual and experimental style following the darker Sign o’ the Times. Historically significant, the single reflects Prince’s bold artistic shift during the late 1980s, a period when he was navigating commercial pressures and personal expression, with the Lovesexy album famously released as a single continuous track on CD. The 12" single includes extended remixes, such as the Glam Slam (Remix), tailored for club play, highlighting Prince’s influence on dance music culture. No tracks from this single became major hit singles, with Alphabet St. from the same album being the more prominent chart success.
