I thought it would be interesting to see how people would design their own Crystal Ball sets? Two rules: 10 tracks per disc and the original [compilation] never happened. Go!

1. Feel U Up/ Irresistible Bitch

2. Extralovable

3. Turn It Up

4. Moonbeam Levels

5. Love & Sex

6. Nothing Compares 2 U

7. Wonderful Ass (First Version)

8. Possessed

9. Electric Intercourse

10. I Miss U (Acoustic Demo Version)

-

1. Witness 4 The Prosecution (First Version)

2. All Day, All Night

3. Empty Room

4. In A Large Room With No Light

5. Adonis & Bathsheiba

6. Old Friends 4 Sale

7. All My Dreams

8. Train

9. Crystal Ball

10. Kiss (Xtended Version)

-
1. Joy In Repetition (Original drum intro)

2. Rebirth of The Flesh

3. Dorothy Parker (Unreleased 12" Version)

4. Shockadelica

5. The Line (Later Version)

6. Lovesexy (Original Version)

7. Rave Un2 The Joy Fantastic

8. Pink Cashmere (Synth Version)

9. If I Had A Harem

10. I Could Never Take The Place of Your Man (12" Man mix)

-
1. Dance With The Devil

2. Love... Thy Will Be Done

3. Open Book

4. A 1,000 Hugs and Kisses

5. Eye Wonder

6. Insatiable (Original Long Version)

7. Willin' and Able (Video Version)

8. Days of Wild

9. The Holy River (Unreleased remix)

10. Love Never Has 2 Say Goodbye

I'm sure I'll make amendments later, but that's enough typing for now...

Why include Kiss (extended version)? Is this different than the officially released extended version of Kiss?

.

I have no real problems with your wish list - though I do appreciate the inclusion of Dream Factory on the version of CB that made it into our hands. So, if I had to make a change to your list, I'd remove Kiss and include Dream Factory so we have it in studio quality.

.

Others I could see including:

.

The Sex of It (I could replace JIR in your compilation with this song since the only difference is the drum intro. While the released version's segue is a butcher job, the song is still excellent in released form)

.

Purple Music (gimme that instead of The Holy River in your set)

.

Chocolate (Prince on vocals) (gimme that instead of All Day All Night, only because we have it in 98% perfect quality already from the Box O' Chocolates boot)

.

and finally - the only glaring omission I see on your otherwise stellar list -

.

THE DANCE ELECTRIC (gimme that instead of Adonis & Bathsheba since the recently surfaced version is great quality.

.

EDIT: Oh hell - gotta fit "Heaven" on there somewhere, too.

It's rather funny, because alot of the point you've raised, I thought about when configuring this!

Kiss is an unreleased extended version that was schedualled to be released on Crystal Ball II. Apparently it's like the concert version he does. I kept JIR because I think it's a supperior mix overall. I was going to put Purple Music on there, but as I'm sure you can see, the discs cover particular albums [- CD 1: 1999-Purple Rain, CD 2: Roadhouse Garden-Parade-Dream Factory, CD 3: Crystal Ball-SOTT-Lovesexy-RaveU2, CD 4: Batman-Emancipation] and I ran out of room.

That Holy River Unreleased Remix sounds interesting... What tape would I find that on?

Dorothy Parker is there a lonnger version somewhere?

I'd start with The Ball as it mentions "Crystal Ball" so would be a great way to use the song and also give the album a 'title track' of sorts.

Ten tracks? You're as tight as Prince was.
