Printablemetalorange said: anon said: What's a "Crystal Ball order"?
Crystal Ball was originally available to order through 1800 New Funk which was his first attempt at a 'direct-to-fans' website and that was also the phone number you could ring for merchandise. Prince took orders for the album but said he would only release it once there were something like 100 or 150 thousand orders. It was touted as an exclusive offer for fans only. Months later, and suddenly the Crystal Ball package appeared in record shops, before the online orders had even been sent out, so hardly exclusive to patient fans. Some people complained they never received their order or their order was lost. All in all it was regarded as a disaster for relations with fans, though I tend to think, hey, it was one of the first attempts by anyone of selling an album like this, so of course there were glitches. Of course if the glitch happened to you, you're far less forgiving. I wouldn't mind the glitch, either. It's the misleading part that would bother me.

It didn't have a cover or inside booklet like the store-released version - it came in a transparent petri-dish-type can with just the CDs. However, it did come with a 5th CD - Kamasutra (which is pretty poor instrumental pseudo-classical music by Prince for a proposed ballet Mayte was gonna do). They did try to make up for it by later sending out the cassette version of The War, a T-shirt and the Emancipation lyrics booklet. | |

I wonder if Prince actually tested it out before sending it out or making a bunch of them. I couldn't see how the discs would not get scratched. I only knew folks that got the War cassette. I didn't know about any tshirt of the booklet that I bet was stockpiled as no one ordered it in the first place! Christian Zombie Vampires | |

The Kamasutra CD and different packaging were supposed to make up for the difference. Trust me if you were waiting for the CB to arrive and you saw it in the stores, it would have pissed you off.

It is time for him to do it . . . the time is right. . but the next time you talk to him, ask him why is he talking to you?? and then come and give us a half post of why he is . . we can give you all the attention you need.
