The album features [[Prince]] in disguise as [[Alias: Camille|Camille]] on all vocals and instruments, with saxophone by [[Eric Leeds]] and trumpet by [[Atlanta Bliss]] on some tracks. [[Wendy Melvoin]], [[Lisa Coleman]] and [[Susannah Melvoin]] also appear on several tracks, although [[Wendy Melvoin]] and [[Lisa Coleman]]’s contributions were somewhat buried in the mix after their departure from [[Prince]]’s band. The full [[Prince and the Revolution|Revolution]] band appears on the track [[It’s Gonna Be A Beautiful Night]], which uses a live recording by the band as its basis. And also features [[Sheila E.]] and [[Jill Jones]]. | The album features [[Prince]] in disguise as [[Alias: Camille|Camille]] on all vocals and instruments, with saxophone by [[Eric Leeds]] and trumpet by [[Atlanta Bliss]] on some tracks.

+ | It’s possible that the same tape was used for side 6 of '''Crystal Ball''' and side 4 of [[Album: Sign O’ The Times|Sign O’ The Times]], prompting the error on the j-card of the Bernie Grundman Mastering in-house cassette. Of note is that [[Adore]] was listed as ''Adore (Until The End Of Time''), using the song’s first lyric as a parenthetical title for the track. | ||
When the project was developed into [[Album: Sign O’ The Times|Sign O’ The Times]] (in late December 1986), 15 of the 22 tracks were kept; only [[U Got The Look]] was a new addition, recorded in late December 1986. | When the project was developed into [[Album: Sign O’ The Times|Sign O’ The Times]] (in late December 1986), 15 of the 22 tracks were kept; only [[U Got The Look]] was a new addition, recorded in late December 1986. |
