3 in a row...good gawd!

I just re-discovered the bliss of tracks 2-4 on Crystal Ball disc 2:

Da Bang
Calhoun Square
What's My Name

I think CB is the only P set that I can't name the order in which the songs appear (it's always just been a collection of songs rather than an album in my mind), and I rarely listen to CB in track order. But dayum...those are three INCREDIBLE tunes backtaback!

Did anyone else on this site call the 900 number to hear "What's my name" shortly after the name change?

It was announced that the call would give us Prince's new name, but they basically played that song?

That block of songs kick my ass too! And I didn't know any of them before I got Crystal Ball.

In time CB material is getting proper recognition and praise where it once was dogged.

I don't particularly dig the crazy parts of Da Bang or What's My Name.

Which crazy parts? The changes from mid-tempo to up-tempo, mellow to screaming? I think those are my mostest favoritest! biggrin

I also don't like the scratching on those parts, on either song.

Very true.
I wasn't delighted with it when it first came out, but have grown to love it over the years.

It is a great song but classic? I don't think so.

This 3-song stretch kicks major ass and, aside from the constant return to the title track of the set, they recieve about 97% of the attention I pay to Crystal Ball.

I love the way Crystal Ball is tracked. You never know what you're gonna get next.
