I'm not sure if this news was already submitted, but here
goes anyway...



Time magazine's "People" articles by Michele Orecklin, May 3rd, 1999:



"'The Artist Now Known As Reprince'

little buzzed, but cute ]



If your ~Raspberry Beret~ has begun to look a little frayed,
don't despair. *THE ARTIST* (formerly known as sane) has
announed plans to rerecord all 17 albums he made between
1978 and 1996 with his former label Warner Bros. Yes, such
classics as ~Controversy~, ~1999~, and ~Purple Rain~ can be
yours...again. The Artist has been feuding with Warner
Bros. for years, in part because he wants full ownership of
his output. By re-recording his catalog and releasing it on
his own label, he'll retain control of the master
recordings--not to mention reap more profits. Plus, the
Artist believes, improved technology will make the music
sound better. Let's just hope he won't be inspired to
reshoot ~Under The Cherry Moon~." [why do they always make
fun of my fave movie? ]



I found it interesting, so I thought I might share [even tho
we've already heard this news].
