CD: PRINCE (TAFNAP) - Crystal Ball - Rare 5 (FIVE) CD, Internet Only Version

CRYSTAL BALL - VERY LIMITED EDITION 5 X CD BOXSET BY PRINCE

I am selling my copy of this extremely rare item which I ordered from the NPG website in 1998.

It contains three compilation albums of "previously bootlegged" material, along with The Truth, a bonus disc of 12 new acoustic songs.

Internet pre-orders included an instrumental album, Kamasutra, and included here, which is an 'Opera' instrumental only album only available on this Box set.

This is MUCH RARER than the standard 4 cd set available in Shops

VERY RARE CD BOXSET, this is a limited edition release and was only available from the NPG Official Club, via the Internet.

This 5 CD Set was NOT available to the general public and comes in a round plastic case. It came without sleeve or inserts, but you were able to download and print a front and rear insert, which I did.

It is in excellent condition having been stored out of direct sunlight in a smoke-free & pet-free home.

Made in very limited numbers.

Guaranteed a genuine item.
