. ...he will get them all back!!!!.. ..mzsexybaby'TRUST THE RIDE'    No. He will gain ownership rights to his masters of the For You album in 2012. That's it. Then, he will acquire ownership of the other WB albums with each 35-year anniversary of release. Purple Fact #542: Prince can make a Weeble™ fall down. | |

No, he won't. 
He will own the masters after a period of 35 years - for each album individually. He will get For You back in 2013 (1978+35), Prince in 2014 (1979+35), Dirty Mind in 2015 (1980+35) and so on. | |

Nothing has changed The law is still the same that states the masters ordinarily revert back upon notice 35 years after the due date. And everyone is still laughing ALT+PLS+RTN: Pure as a pane of ice. It's a gift. | |

Based upon all of the post-Warner Bros albums, once Prince gets his masters back... they will all go out of print immediately. Purple Fact #542: Prince can make a Weeble™ fall down. | |

If he gets them back the dirty words/references will be bleeped, changed, or trax will be dropped entirely (ie. Let's Pretend We're Married, Sister, Jack U Off, etc.)
Fuck this tame shit, who wants some "Head"? | |

Sad, no?  Then that will make him a hypercritic. The reason for his stance on the internet was so that people don’t 'bastardize' his songs. If he changes them then he's no different. I hope he leaves them as they are and like us appreciates that these songs are a part of his history and are sacred. | |

Yeah, so THEY don't fuck with his songs, it's OK if he does it, they'd be his property. (I'd hate it too of course, just saying). | |

Let's just believe in it. I want Prince to have what is his. Last Night, I spent another lonely Christmas...Darlin' Darlin' U shoulda been there.~Prince. | |

Sad, no? I shudder to think that he'd actually do that after all this time. I mean, if he doesn't want to curse now, that's cool. But to totally butt fuck his past catalog, the one that got him where he is...I can't imagine it. Although in the back of my mind, I feel like that's what he'd do. He'd overdub shit too, trying to improve on it. He HAS to know that people would NOT buy such rubbish, no matter who they are. Can you imagine The Beatles or Led Zepplin doing that shit? Has ANYONE ever done that, I wonder? Ernest L Sewell, IV

Keep in mind that it's 35 years from the album's original release date. It will not automatically be January 1, 2013. It will be October 2013 for For You, etc. Still, it's just around the corner . . . | |

Has ANYONE ever done that, I wonder? The movie equivalent would be George Lucas constantly adding new CGI footage to the ORIGINAL Star Wars trilogy. The new footage looks so good it is really out of place in most cases. | |

Lets just pray that Prince protects his music from himself.

Do WB also not have loads of Prince unreleased stuff as well, like the original crystal ball and dream factory - even roadhouse garden? and many single tracks as well. so why don't they release them>?

[Edited 6/30/09 11:25am] I believe that was the publishing rights, with regards 2 MJ and The Beatles. This thread is based on Prince and the master tapes from his WB career, which SHOULD be referring 2 the original 2" tape masters, tracked out. | |
