Post Description
Not to be confused with Crystal Ball (album set).
Crystal Ball was a 3-LP set to be released in 1986, The set was to
consist of various tracks from 1985–1986. Although several Dream
Factory tracks were incorporated, this set was to be marketed as a solo
album by Prince. Warner Bros. Records balked at the album's length so
Prince begrudgingly trimmed it to the 2-LP Sign "O" the Times, which
many still consider to be his best album (although Purple Rain was his
most successful). The album is notable for two reasons; it was the last
studio album to be recorded with The Revolution and the events said to
have surrounded its recording led to the resignation of both Wendy &
Lisa, effectively dissolving Prince's band until the creation of the
New Power Generation.
