* "U're All Eye Want"
* "Xtra Lovable"
Cheers

At one of the celebrations in Minneapolis folks were asked to vote for what tracks they would like to appear on a 'Crystal Ball 2' release.

I seriously doubt whether it was truely considered for release though.

Apart from Girl and Gotta Stop (Mesin About), if they're the same as the b side versions, I don't think anything else has been officially released.

Many have been circulating on boots though

Crystal Ball 2 was just another project prick tease, one in a very long list

^Yup. Remember 'Roadhouse Garden'?

Crystal ball one barely made it, why would there be a two?

From what I heard, Crystal Ball 2 was pretty much finished whe it was pulled.
(in fact I'm pretty sure the tracklist for it was more or less done before the
'vote' was even posted (let alone counted).

from what I know, the following have been heard and are at least on a boot somewhere...and I am going from memory here


* "Electric Intercourse"
* "Eye Wonder"
* "Girl O' My Dreams"
* "Gotta Stop (Messin' About)"
* "Lust U Always"
* "Others Here with Us"
* "She's Just a Baby"
* "Turn It Up"
* "Xtra Lovable"

Though I have to say the only thing I really want to hear is
* "3 Nigs Watchin' a Kung Fu Movie"

So I can have more music.

Prince was definitely in an outtakes-friendly mood from '97-'99. As much of a disaster as the release of Crystal Ball was, I wish it wouldn't have held him back from other archival releases like Crystal Ball 2 and Roadhouse Garden. I would kill to hear all those songs in perfect quality.
