Wow.

I've always wanted to burn this set to go along with my Camille and Dream Factory sets - what are the track-lengths (and versions, where appropriate) of each track? And is there a clear version of The Ball fading into Joy In Repetition?

[stupid question] The Ball became Eye No, right? [/stupid question]

[stupid answer] The Ball became EyeBall[/stupid answer]

Just two words - "source, please"

poetbear68 said:

It's common knowledge.

Sources: Prince, Susan Rogers, several Uptown publications, in-house cassettes,
copyright at the Library of Congress, sequencing notes etc.

BorisFishpaw said:

Are there good versions of these without the audience noise cross-fade (since the order was reversed on SOTT)?

Thanks for the full timings, Boris - I was looking for this just yesterday

booyah said:

Unfortunately not (well, not that I've come across anyway)

Thanks! I knew I could count on you.

But, damn, I thought Witness of the Prosecution was on there.

poetbear68 said:

There's always one, eh!

calldapplwondery83 said:

You're prob. thinking of Dream Factory there, 'twas on configurations of that album.

Yes, I just thought he put that jam on Crystal Ball, too.
Guess I'll have to make a best of of both then. But....

booyah said:

yes,they exsist without the cross-fade.
not availiable to the public though.
