The truth & crystal ball

Hey, i've really want these albums, cause i hear a lot of people say that these albums are really good, so i was woundering, is there any way of me getting my hands on a copy that hasn't been downloaded from the net?
I really want the retail copy, is there such thing?

thanks

You can see it pop up on ebay from time to time...

check it

...i'm sure that's how I ended up getting my copy.

It's definitely worth buying if you do happen to stumble across it. nod

I have a spare copy of crystal ball which I'd be willing to trade for something else. Orgnote me if you're interested.

I really feel the need to warn you ..... it's not a good album.

first .... it isn't chronologic, you're jumping back and forth in time
second ... only a few tracks from the 80's, a lot of silly tracks from the 90's
third ... strange choice of songs
fourth ... do you call that "artwork"?

The Work volumes 1 and 2 ..... that's what I call great outtake compilations.

"Crucial" alone justifies getting this triple album. Get it.

You actually like that version?
I hate it when he chops off vital parts of amazing songs and then make 'em pure crap (something he's extremely good at)...
