THE CRYSTAL BALL 3CD SET

i feel prince should have had all my dreams and evry other unreleased songs that the fans really wanted. the original version of sexual suicide blows away the album version. i think it could've been an awesome album. the original crucial with that horn solo i would've rather had. oh well!

many of us have been saying that since it's release

Agreed - but I think it was held back for inclusion on the mysterious Roadhouse Garden project...maybe one day it will be set free

It's great as is.

There's another version of Sexual Suicide? I love that song.

yes.. the original version is just its falsetto by itself.

crystal ball 2

put it where it feel good

He's saving the good shit. He wasn't gonna blow his load all in one go.

My Favorite Prince album.


1. Crystal Ball
2. SOTT
3. Emancipation (Only because there is a mass of material. It's about 50/50)
4. Purple Rain
5. New Power Soul (yeah I know 99% disagree- so what. My list)
7. Parade
8. Graffiti Bridge
9. Dirty Mind
10.Prince (sorry P, I know and understand how you feel about this one but . . )

all the remixes and shit were unnecessary, imo

Bloated release

Y'know what's funny? When folks say, "Prince should release everything." And then, when he does a sizable vault dump, they say wanna nitpick the tracks and say, "Well, we didn't mean that."

the only cd's 2 be on his best 5 of all time won't change!!
1)PURPLE RAIN-when doves cry, the beautiful ones , computer blue....enough said
2)SIGN O' THE TIMES-prince's most electic work ever
3)!999- where the minneapolos sound starts and stops with. amazing arrangements and drum machine beats, the sound effects were amazing on this.
4)DIRTY MIND-PRINCE finally came in2 his own. i don't give a fuck attitude on this one. PRINCE's when u were mine is a 4ever classic song
5)PARADE-PRINCE claims that he rushed this one. looking back on it there are so many interesting tracks on it. it's the kind of album to blast on a summers day. i just wish all my drams, there's others here with us and old friends4 sale were on it though

I'd love a full CD quality version of Do Yourself A Favor more than anything.

Fuck yeah!

I'd like to hear a lot more stuff from the Dirty Mind and Controversy eras, there really isn't too much circulating.

I was flipping through The Vault the other day and read something I hadn't seen before about, I think it was, 'Hard To Get' from the Rebels sessions, and how it was remade in the Dirty Mind timeframe, would love to hear that.

Sounds right up my alley. You won't find it though folks, it's not generally circulating. Boris is a lucky sod is all.
