− | Initial tracking took place on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/April_17|17 April | + | Initial tracking took place on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/April_17|17 April 1986]] at [[Galpin Blvd Home Studio]], Chanhassen, MN, USA (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]]). Although this track was not included on a late April 1986 configuration of the aborted album [[Album: Dream Factory|Dream Factory]], a full length version without [[Clare Fischer]]'s contribution was included, on the [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/June 3|3 June 1986]] configuration and again on the [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/July 18|18 July 1986]] configuration, now omitting a minute and a half of the intro that was obsolete as in this incarnation without orchestration it was only a beat of the left channel. 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 the days preceding the release of [[Album: Emancipation|Emancipation]] in 1996, [[thedawn.com]] teased the next release, [[Album: Crystal Ball|Crystal Ball]] as a 3CD set of previously-unreleased material, so it was assumed immediately that [[Crystal Ball]] would be included. The version featured on the release is identical to the version that was to be on the [[Album:_Crystal_Ball_1986|Crystal Ball]] 3-LP release from 1986. |
