Janet Jackson's 'Control' is a game - changer. Her first two albums were decent, but 'Control' catapulted her out of her family's shadow to become a global superstar. Produced by Prince affiliates Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, tracks like 'Nasty' foreshadowed the new jack swing movement. The 9 - track album's melodic, dance - friendly R&B core is still highly influential. Its theme of feminine independence, presented by a 19 - year - old Janet, put her on par with Madonna as a pop icon of that era. Songs like 'Control', 'The Pleasure Principle', and 'What Have You Done for Me Lately' are so addictive you'll want to listen to the whole album on repeat. Music label: A&M Records 1986 / 2019.

How to use: Simply place the vinyl LP on your record player, gently drop the needle on the groove, and enjoy the music. It's a great way to relax or have a party. Note: When handling the vinyl, make sure your hands are clean to avoid getting dirt on the record. Store it in a cool, dry place to prevent warping. If it gets dusty, use a vinyl brush to clean it gently from the center outwards.
