Bought the 4 disc & 5 disc version of Crystal Ball, then bought a 5/6 disc jewel case & combined them both to make ONE excellent "Crystal Ball 5 Disc set in a jewel case with booklet".

The bees are on the what now?

what? my Crystal Ball only had 3 CDs in it!!! Damn, and the shop I bought it from shut down the week after, something is not quite right there. Hmmm. Was I supposed to have got a cassette too?

From what I recall, retail versions also have "The Truth" included.

I got mine from Prince directly over the internet, so it has the CB discs, "The Truth" & "Kamasutra". Oh yeah, & a T-shirt, 2. (I got mine right on time & just fine, but found out later that I apparently lucked out... man, did I ever feel relieved...)

Later P's web site said that all those who pre-ordered CB would get "The War" when it was released, but even though I had pre-ordered CB I never got "The War". And I really wanted it, 2!

I did receive "The War" on casette. And it was a totally pleasent surprise 'cause I didn't have Internet access at the time*, so I didn't know it even existed.

* a friend ordered CB for me

My 'Crystal Ball' has 4 discs. I got my 'Crystal Ball' in a small record store. Most major retailers don't sell it or sell it 4 really high prices.

The Jewel Box and booklet version of Crystal Ball should have the 3 CB discs and The Truth CD.

The clear, round "Hockey Puck" version should include the above, plus the Kamasutra CD and no booklet.

Did you purchase yours used? The Truth should have been in your set.

Sorry! (red face) Can't count. It did have 4, listening to The Truth right now (it's real dusty from all the listening I don't do). That horrid vocal effect on the animal kingdom is really getting to me, ugh. Thanks tho!
