It was planned for release by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warner_Bros._Records Warner Bros.] in January 1987 (to be preceded by a single of [[Single: Shockadelica|Shockadelica]]). [[Prince]] instead decided to expand on the project by incorporating tracks recorded earlier in 1986, resulting in the three-disc set [[Album: Crystal Ball 1986|Crystal Ball]].<br> |
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]] and [[Lisa Coleman]] also appear on [[Strange Relationship]] (although their contributions were buried in the mix), and [[Susannah Melvoin]] on [[Rockhard In A Funky Place]].<br> | 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.
