I clearly didn't say that, stop making up things only to do some 'I'm angry at the Estate' act, this isn't youtube or tiktok.

As long as they don't do another outtake collection like Crystal Ball 98 with all eras colliding with each other that make for a bad listen, them I'm happy.

Lol.....what ever u say.

Joris is just expressing his preference for a cohesive outtakes collection. That's all.

Reading comprehension isn't a thing for you I see. Maybe you're better off spamming this site wioth reaction videos and pretending they;re not that.

Not really into internet arguments these days.

Have a good one though.

Article on ATWIAD in November 2025 issue of UK music monthly Classic Pop says it was Prince's idea for the image of the boy with the balloon. Basically his compromise to his demand of the cover of the album having no text, which would have been a promotional nightmare.

.

Article has new quotes from Susan Rogers and Laura LiPuma. (Though not really any new info.)

.

The magazine also reviews the reissue (4.5/5 stars), and John McKie's recent book about Prince

.

The upcoming issue of UK music monthly Mojo (December 2025 issue) also has an article on ATWIAD, but the magazine isn't out yet. I expect it to be out in a couple of days.

Thank you Bart.

Surely the release pattern should be three versions for each album:

1. Remastered album

2. Deluxe version with above and b-sides, extended mixes

3. Super Deluxe with above and vault tracks

The December 2025 issue of UK music monthly Mojo has a six page article about Around The World In A Day.

.

Based on new interviews with Brownmark, Dr. Fink, Bobby Z., Susan Rogers, Wendy Melvoin, Lisa Coleman, Doug Henders, and Laura LiPuma.

In a way, I found Crystal Ball to be more cohesive than the tracks on the Super Deluxe editions. It flowed like an album. I was a relative newbie when it was released, and I had less knowledge of when the music had been made, which was likely an advantage. And Prince would pull tracks out of the vault from different eras for new albums himself.

Crystal Ball was something I can isten to like an album, outtakes discs I pick tracks from.

And I would agree. Prince spent a lot of time on the sequencing of CB. People complain that it's a mishmash of tracks from different eras and sometimes the result is a bit weird (like "Jam of the Year" playing over "Movie Star"), but overall it's pretty good.
