Following its release as part of the Crystal Ball package, Love4oneanother. Steve Parke was quoted remembering to have been working on the artwork for this seperate release but it was canceled for unknown reasons. Although the album is billed as "acoustic", the album contains several electronic instruments, samples, distortions and sound effects. It does largely focus on an acoustic sound, however. The album produced one limited-release single, The Truth , which preceded the album by almost a full year.

The album was not sold separately at that time, however, so could not chart separately. The compact disc version is the original issue, only available with Crystal Ball boxset. All songs written by except where indicated 1 Lyrics by , music by and Rhonda Smith.

In other words, The Dawn takes an oft-dismissed period of music and, through well-chosen selections, shows how creative, exciting and funky Prince was between The Dawn is sequenced thematically, using the breaks from The Gold Experience.

It was something that album attempted to do, but not as successfully. On the second disc, things take a sharp veer. This one was eventually released, buried deep on his triple-CD set Crystal Ball, where all but the hardcore fans were likely to miss it. As you can tell, the highlights on The Dawn are many. If anything, the compiler here has done an admirable job, mixing outtakes and rare cuts with familiar album tracks.

Hell, with his occasional dip into jazzy elements, it even points forward to albums like Xpectation. A notorious perfectionist, Prince was known for adding or removing tracks at the last minute from releases. If anything, it deserves to stand next to releases like The Hits , which he left to other people to compile.

So: think of The Dawn as an overview of an underrated period. Think of it as the album Prince perhaps thought Gold, Come , Chaos and Disorder , et al, were supposed to be. I must admit, this DVD set is new to me, and is a completely different thing put together by someone else much later on obviously inspired by The Dawn audio collection's running order.

It sounds like a good collection of videos and live performances from that time but I haven't seen it myself so can't comment on quality etc. Though it might have been better if they'd called it something slightly different, like "The Dawn Video Experience" to avoid confusion.

However, the original "The Dawn" 3CD set is all about the versions, mixing, segueing and sequencing. And putting the songs from that period into a overall context in keeping with Prince's original ideas at the time. There were a few different versions made over time, but the final "finished" one is the one listed in thedance's post.

Each disc should clock in at exactly 77 mins and 7 seconds. Some of us didn't know that the DVD existed. I downloaded this not too long ago and i love it, excellent release.

I know this is the fault of my media player and not the actual release but it is bugging me. Ohh purple joy oh purple bliss oh purple rapture! After all your hard work I think you might have got yourself a boot for a couple of days.

The final version is 4. The major differences were pointed out above by TheDance. As far as I'm aware only 2 versions got as far as circulating among fans. The first version was missing We March, Dark and Zannalee, and clocked in at 70 mins per disc. A few of the tracks on the early version were shorter edits too.
