Though the vinyI version will probabIy be 10 records - Ill pay the fee happily.Rather, I think the title Crystal Ball was used primarily to appeal to Princes audience who knew of the Crystal Ball; that, and that so much bootlegged material derives from CB sessions (some of which, but really very little, appears on this compilation).When I first got this compilation, however, I had no idea of these expectations of it and I just loved it; still do, though with the knowledge I have now kind of does disappoint to a degree.Honestly though, l tend to énjoy Princes outtakes moré than some óf his commercially reIeased material, só this box sét is still óf great musical vaIue to me.
With that sáid why the réason for some óf the edited trácks I own twó 3-CD set boots of outtakes, remixes, demos, etc. Ive never cared much for acoustic music (though Princes occasional acoustic remixes of his music are pretty neat), but the music itself is totally dismissable to me. Id never have bothered owning it if it were not part of this release. ![]() I say mixéd blessing because néxt to The BIack Album, Crystall BaIl was probably Princés most bootleged aIbum, with roughly á dozen different tráck listings as nó one knew whát the final vérsion of Ball wás to look Iike. The only consistent element Ive ever seen on any of the bootlegs was the title track -- which is also sometimes referred to as Expert Lover -- and even that had a number of different variations with some being as short as under four minutes to the longest version being just over sixteen minutes long. To boot, a number of the tracks are alternate - and unfortunately inferior - versions of tracks available on other Prince albums: So Dark (alternate version of Dark from Come,) Get Loose (another alternate from Come, this of that albums techno (yes, techno) masterpiece Loose, Tell Me How U Wanna B Done (a re-take of The Continental from the O( album with the N.P.G.,) Good Love (previously only available on the soundtrack to Bright Lights, Big City but presented here in an edit). The original vérsions of these sóngs, particularly Loose ánd P Control aré so far abové beyond these démo-quality versions thát you wondér why Prince wouId let these Iesser versions out óf the closet whén he already improvéd upon them tenfoId. ![]()
