Basic tracking took place on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/April_17|17 April 1986]] at [[Galpin Blvd Home Studio]] in Chanhassen, Minnesota (two days after band overdubs on [[Witness 4 The Prosecution]] and the recording of [[Visions]], both without [[Prince]], and three days before recording [[Starfish And Coffee]]). | Basic tracking took place on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/April_17|17 April 1986]] at [[Galpin Blvd Home Studio]] in Chanhassen, Minnesota (two days after band overdubs on [[Witness 4 The Prosecution]] and the recording of [[Visions]], both without [[Prince]], and three days before recording [[Starfish And Coffee]]). | ||

In late November 1986, [[Prince]] began to compile the [[Album:_Crystal_Ball_1986|Crystal Ball]] triple LP (completely separate from the 1998 release of the same name), and [[Crystal Ball]] was included as the first track on the third side of the album in its [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/November 30|30 November 1986]] configuration. This was the version with the [[Clare Fischer]] orchestration added, but edited down by a minute from the previous version. | In late November 1986, [[Prince]] began to compile the [[Album:_Crystal_Ball_1986|Crystal Ball]] triple LP (completely separate from the 1998 release of the same name), and [[Crystal Ball]] was included as the first track on the third side of the album in its [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/November 30|30 November 1986]] configuration.
