Maybe like the Crystal Ball set and the rumored Crystal Ball II set we can influence another set.

Everyone pick one song and why it should be released.

Maybe, just maybe we can get this going.

I have suggested a subscription service were every month you get another disc of outtakes and one of a special show in its full length. Phish does this with their live downloads available 24 hours after the show, plus they release old classic shows too. That's a band that has always remembered who got them their success.

I would suggest $200 a year for 15 releases plus shipping.

My pick would be:

a place in heaven. Why cause I like the waltz drum and the vocal layering. or the original empty room. haunting.

Hope this sparks something positive.

Thanks
Andrew

Crystal Ball II isn't rumoured, it was a projected release that got shelved.

Prince doesn't seem intent on releasing th older vault stuff, so I suggest we pool together to bribe some PP employees into giving us access to bumrush the vault and snatch whatever we can carry out.

If we plan it properly, we'll be in and out before Skipper even has time to zip up his heels.

Exactly.

In this case, Prince even went as far as inviting people who were visiting Paisley Park in June, 2000 to choose songs from a list he provided. Having declared those songs which received the most votes, Prince then announced that folks at Paisley were working on Crystal Ball II i.e. to deliver what people had chosen.

But clearly, he had no real interest in following through on this, despite having solicited input and announcing it was going to happen.

A dig around AMP came up with this:

The 17 songs chosen by the celebration attendees:

Electric Intercourse
Love & Sex
Xtraloveable
3 Nigs Watchin' A King Fu Movie
Evolsidog
Adonis & Bathseba
Eye Wonder
Others Here With Us
American Jam
Lust U Always
Strange Way of Saying Eye Love U
Everybody Want What They Don't Got
Girl 'O'My Dreams
U're All Eye Want
Turn It Up
Kiss - Xtended Version
Katrina's Paper Dolls

Much more interesting than CB1 - What a tease Prince is!

And the 5 tracks on the list of 22 possibles which received the least number of votes for Crystal Ball II were:

She's Just A Baby
Gotta Stop (Messin' About)
If It'll Make U Happy
Come Electra Tuesday
Girl

two of which appear to have been previously released as B-sides and which also appeared on CD ('Girl' in edited form) on The Hits / B sides release.
