I never ordered Crystal Ball, but I did get The War cassette.

I just found my copy of the cassette a few days ago. It's still sealed! I have no way to play it. I found it searching for my 3121 CD which seems to have vanished completely... it's making me very sad.

Instead of the shirt? Yeah it was a pretty cool gift I'd say. I was pleased.

So weird story... I bought Crystal Ball in 1998. It was the summer I was getting ready to ship out for the Army. The CDs came in the plastic ball case. I still love every track. But this weird thing happened... A few weeks later, maybe a month before my ship date I get this mysterious package in the mail. I don't recall ordering it or even having ever heard of it but it was a cassette of The War. Was this like a thing that he did?

Yeah, I got The War cassette and I had not even ordered CB Cd. I think they may have sent everybody on the NPG Music Club the cassette or at least some of us randomly. Either way I was pleasantly surprised!!!

Front : him with white hood on seen on emancipation booklet
Back : a huge symbol
Each arm had love and peace on it
But I rather had the music

NPGMC started in 2001. "The War" was released July 1998 as a download. It was released on cassette in August 1998. I got the cassette, and had never ordered anything from them at that point. I did however have my name on the waiting list for the NewPowerPak. Someone called me and asked if I was still ordering it, and I told them I was going to just buy it in stores. That's probably how they got my address. That had to be around June 1998 when NewPowerSoul/Come2MyHouse/GCS2000 was released.

.

In 2005 it was up for download again on NPGMC.

It's a great CD ... One of my faves. The Word is one of his best tracks I think. I regret never going to Vegas to see his residency.

Yes, I love this CD. I play it in iTunes often so don't have to touch my CD's. Where mine went though is bothering me. Everything else is accounted for but for this one CD.
