Kamasutra

NPG Records

Perfect music to make love to.

Released on 14 February 1997 on cassette and from 29 January 1998 on CD as a companion disk to the The Truth and Crystal Ball set. Kamasutra was originally only available directly from Prince’s official retail website 1800newfunk.com, but commercially with the Crystal Ball 5-disk set. Kamasutra is an instrumental album, featuring an accompanying orchestra. Prince is mentioned in the liner notes as The Artist Formally Known As Prince, albeit the album itself is credited to The NPG Orchestra.

Prince wrote Kamasutra in honour of his soon-to-be wife Mayte Garcia (she is pictured on the album’s cover), for the purpose to be played at their wedding ceremony on Valentine’s Day 1996. The track The Plain was earlier released on the album Emancipation.
