The album was announced during [[Prince: A Celebration]] in June 2000, when iMac computer screens at [[Paisley Park Studios]] offered names of a selection of albums for fans to vote for to be released next, and within the option for '''Crystal Ball Volume II''' track names were shown which users could vote on for inclusion on the album. The list showed 22 tracks, and 17 tracks were eventually chosen by fans. If '''Crystal Ball Volume II''' followed the model of the first album, with ten tracks per disc, it seems that three other tracks had already been selected and were not shown for voting, but it is not known which three tracks these were (if this is indeed accurate). | The album was announced during [[Prince: A Celebration]] in June 2000, when iMac computer screens at [[Paisley Park Studios]] offered names of a selection of albums for fans to vote for to be released next, and within the option for '''Crystal Ball Volume II''' track names were shown which users could vote on for inclusion on the album.

− | The tracks offered and voted for include a much wider scope of recording sessions than the original [[Album: Crystal Ball|Crystal Ball]] set, mostly ranging from 1980-1991 (with one track recorded in 1999).
