"The War". Was anyone here at the show when it was recorded? And did anyone get the original CD? Think I have the cassette somewhere. If the milk turns out to be sour, I aint the kinda pussy to drink it! | |

1800 New Funk mailed me the cassette out of the blue. I never ordered it. I still have it. "  don’t really care so much what people say about me because it is a reflection of who they r." |

I think they sent it to some people who ordered Crystal Ball. If the milk turns out to be sour, I aint the kinda pussy to drink it! | |

June 20 1998...I was told it was private, but the next day some friends told me they got in really late. Like at 2:00 AM. | |

Several orgers were there and told about it on the Org in the past. The whole 45mn or so performance is a holy grail of mine but according to them, it was pretty repetitive and somewhat boring, with a lot of stuff having been overdubbed on the final, edited version. I still would like to hear it a lot but, unfortunately, it's not circulating. It would be interesting to include it on a War rerelease one day. This record is one of Prince's most interesting works.

Like most folks, I just got this in the mail "out of the blue," but I don't think I had ordered Crystal Ball. I did have the1800NEWFUNK compilation so that may have been why I was on "someone's" mailing list. I received the "Dinner with Delores" cassette in a similar fashion, just kinda "out of the blue." I don't remember if I received either because I was subscribed to the Prince Family Newsletter edited by Diana Dawkins. At any rate, there was a lot happening with Prince between 94 - 2004, and I just tried to keep up as much as possible. And, luckily it paid off, getting copies of "The War" and "Dinner with Delores" before most folks outside the general Prince fandom loop got them.

Orger Lovemachine (Dean?) was there but he hasn´t posted here in a long time. He basically said the same things that Databank posted above. " I´d rather be a stank ass hoe because I´m not stupid. Oh my goodness! I got more drugs! I´m always funny dude...I´m hilarious! Are we gonna smoke?" | |

[Edited 10/20/17 16:52pm] Wow. There is too. It's funny really. It doesn't feel that long ago but of course it is. Seems a lot longer when you realise cassettes were still a thing. If the milk turns out to be sour, I aint the kinda pussy to drink it! | |
