* When [[Album:_Crystal_Ball_Volume_II|Crystal Ball Volume II]], a follow-up to [[Album: Crystal Ball|Crystal Ball]] was planned in 2000, the two 'new' CDs were going to be mailed out with jewel cases for [[Album: The Truth|The Truth]] and [[Album: Kamasutra|Kamasutra]].

It seems likely, however, that the acoustic version was already planned for [[Album: The Truth|The Truth]] and that the unreleased 'non-acoustic' version was planned for the aborted project [[Project: The Dawn|The Dawn]]. | * [[Welcome 2 The Dawn]] (Acoustic Version) was included as the b-side on a free promo cassette single of [[Single: The Holy River|The Holy River]] given out by [[Exclusive retail partnerships#Borders Books & Music|Borders Books & Music]] in the summer of 1997.
