Crystal Ball or Crystal Ball?

Im one of those people that's really fascinated with Dream Factory era material. Which brings me to this question, which version (for those who have heard both) of Crystall Ball do you like better. The long version Crystall Ball with the Purple Underground speech or the edited version, both have appered on boots and only one version was officially released to the best of my knowlege. Or what are your favorite Dream Factory/Crystal Ball era tracks in general?

I like the long version, can't get enough of that one, if that's the one on the album, that's the only one I've heard. I'm confused...there's 2 albums? confuse

As far as tracks, ALL songs on Disk 1&2 are favorites, but I haven't really gotten to all of the others...

...oh nevermind...you meant the song, not the album. I haven't heard the edited version, but I'll keep the long version. nod

If you are talking about the song Crystal Ball that P released. That is the edited version.

The one on the officially released Crystal Ball album omits a spoken bit in the outtake:-

Sisters and brothers in the purple underground
Find peace of mind with the pop sound
It seems when we're in danger, everything gets black
Don't U wanna go?

It's spoken by a female (Wendy, Susannah?)
if you've gotta pay for things that you've done wrong I've gotta big bill coming at the end of the day- Gil Scott Heron
