The Truth Cd

I just managed to get ahold of the Crystal Ball cd which came with the Truth. I have to say Im loving it, the Truth album is awesome, very raw sounding, the power of Princes vocals on the Truth and Dont Play me are truly amazing.

Anyone else loving this stuff?

Yes, it is awesome, I play it alot.

It really brings out the best in Prince's acoustic guitar and vocal capability.

It's available as part of the 4CD and 5CD issues of 'Crustal Ball'
ALT+PLS+RTN: Pure as a pane of ice. It's a gift.

You could try Amazon.

There was a legal site that gave samples of The Truth.

If i remember i'll let you know.

Other than Amazon Marketplace and eBay, this place is quite good for rare stuff:
http://www.netsoundsmusic.com

And I used SecondSpin.com sometimes but their selection is usually restricted to more mainstream titles. Great prices though.

Thanks for your help everyone! It's pretty expensive huh? I think I'll give eBay a whirl, I've managed to hear samples and now I REALLY want it. This man's beginning to cost me a fortune!! lol


Oh NO, I shouldn't have looked on there - STOP IT!! STOP IT!!

Fantastic album - my favourite P album of the last decade. Wasted it really by burying it on CB, but hey it's P

fascination is the track that should have gotten the spin in the setlists
man, he has such an amazing body of music that it's sad to see him constrict it down to the basics. he's too talented for the lineup he's doing. estelle 81

Amazing cd. I love it. Although, I must say that it contains the worst song he's ever written (animal kingdon ill) - the rest is awesome.

Yes, great cd. Stands out among most of the stuff released in the past ten years, along with TRC.

Showcases two of his strengths that people don't always notice--his rhythm guitar playing and his harmonies.

I'd like to hear something even less polished, however. Maybe include a real acoustic piano, no synths, no drum machines.

I love that track. Yeah the subject matter is odd, but it has a mood which makes it the highlight of the album imo.

I got mine off ebay-from a U.S seller it worked out quite well with the pound being worth so many dollars. I got it for about 18 pound which I thought was a steal since some of them go for around 40 pound.
