CRYSTAL BALL/THE TRUTH

I just bought the Crystal Ball off ebay and also got The Truth as a fourth disc. Is this normal? Does The Truth have a cover at all?

Kamasutra is an orchestral "ballet" CD, but written by Prince (prince) and performed by the NPG Orchestra.

It's got some samples and has a few good moments, but overall it's boring and weak.

Kamasutra was included when you bought CB online. In stores, there were only 4 discs (3 CB + The Truth).

... I sold my Crystal Ball ...
made my own compiliation in chronological order from it ..... just a few good tracks from the 80's .... and a lot of weak shit from the 90's ....
Why can't prince make a decent collection???

This "bootleg" can't compete with the real bootlegs: The Work volume 1 and volume 2!!

but to answer your questions:
it comes in a 4cd-box with the most ugly inlays ... no tracklist.
it contains a round booklet with little information about the several outtake-tracks, and a tracklist for The Truth. Why you want a seperate cover for The Truth ... it's a 4cd-box!

But the general conclusion about Crystal Ball: it sucks, it's the worst outtake-"bootleg"

Now you've found it .. go search for Thunderball's The Work volumes 1 and 2!!

An Honest Man

Disc three:

Poom Poom
She Gave Her Angels
18 & Over
The Ride

Goodbye


Disc four: The Truth

Don't Play Me
Circles Of Amour

Youre an idiot.

Dont bother with The Work 1 or 2. They're incomplete as far as including everything circulating from those periods.

Some Prince fans are such dickheads.

I guess you’re a genius … loving and defending all the crap your little god is releasing ….
Crystal Ball sure ain’t complete or even representing the stuf in the vault … it’s weak …

Nice calling people names … because they don’t agree with you on a discussion forum …
American, I guess!

they do, however, include MOST of it. and it would be better to pick up the Work sets, and then a few stray boots here and there, than to have to pick up about 20 different bootleg sets that overlap for just a few different songs on each to complete the outtake collection.

lol. Oh Christ. My "little god", arent you one for making assumptions.

I love the Prince fans that seem to actually dislike Prince's official work, or even Prince himself...yet can praise bootlegs of his music. As if somehow they are a fan of the bootleg and not Prince.

The Work 1 and The Work 2 are not anymore a representation of what is in the vault than Crystal Ball as you put it. Somehow you think you know the vault better than Prince himself.

Dickheads.

...And what a great liitle dig with the "American, I guess!". Yes, American. And the importance of that? Would you like to blab off some anti-american nonsense now? What is the point?

but what I don't like is this discussion with you ....
