How come you can't find Crystal Ball in stores anymore?

I can find all of his other albums in stores but this one.

I think they still can order the 4 cd box, but dont have it in their stores anmyore coz it is not that kinda classic you should have in the stores...

It will never be a cheap sale cd, coz it is 4 cd's...so a but risky to just buy m and put in the the store...

I'm almost sure when u ask for a copy, they can order it for you (An dI know, I worked in a wreckastow before..... give it a shot)

Good luck!!
the beautiful ones, you always seem to loose

It's out of print like all the NPG Records stuff..... It's the sound of freedom folks.

They cleared most of those outta stores a long time ago. I actually came across a bunch at a Sam Goody that were "cut-out." They were 8.99!. Damn idiot that I am got a friend to buy a copy and didn't pick-up a back-up for myself. Which I need cos I got the stupid packaging and scuffed up all my discs...

You live in Dallas too. I might swing by there tomorrow and see if I can find it. If a young black guy comes in and buys the Crystal Ball album, you'll know who it is.
