Reference is made to Prince in an article from the New York Times (writer
Neil Strauss) which is to be published in the Star Tribune of Sunday, May
9, 1999. The article is called: "Internet may offer artists a chance to
break labels' stranglehold"



"Being on their own label has paid off for musicians like Jonatha Brooke,
Kristin Hersh, Jane Siberry, Ani DiFranco and, most dramatically, Prince,
who recently announced that he would be rerecording all 17 of the records
he made for Warner Brothers to spite it for not giving back his master
tapes when he was released from his contract in 1995.".



Update: Shawn Farrell (sfarrell@nypl.org) adds that the article features a large color photo from the "Eye Hate U" sessions.
