Comments Deane's Comments(rates this release
2.5/5.0) Has many of the same tracks as Crucial,
which is a better collection of outakes from this period. The extended version
of We Can Funk and the second version of Witness are the only saving graces of
this disc. Many of the songs are available in better quality on a number of
other outake releases. This has been reissued many times with a couple of
different covers and many different 'labels'.
Dale's Comments(rates this release 3.5/5.0) This is
actually a pretty good release for a few reasons. First off, it has the
alternate version of Crystal Ball with the 'Purple Underground' speech, but
without the additional orchestration of the released version. A cleaner copy of
this song can be found on Crystal Ball II, however. Another plus for this
release is the inclusion of A Place in Heaven with Lisa doing the vocals. Then
there are the two versions of We Can Funk which are my favorite part of this
release. Most of these tracks can now be found elsewhere in a little better
quality, but this is still worth a listen.
