OMG - WHAT IF PRINCE BUYS BACK MASTERS

On another thread of mine...

http://www.prince.org/msg/7/102007

nayroo2002 pointed out something I have not considered before

What if Prince uses his new cash (and he's certainly earning a lot this year) to buy back his masters from Warner Bros (this is the sort of thing David Bowie did).

If Prince then owns his masters will we ever see remastered albums? Will they be the same or will he edit the lyrics to get rid of dirty words? Will Darling Nikki ever be heard again?
'I loved him then, I love him now and will love him eternally. He's with our son now.' Mayte 21st April 2016 = the saddest quote I have ever read! RIP Prince and thanks for everything.

Can you imagine what our collections will be worth?? Retirements in the bag!
Do not fear to be eccentric in opinion, for every opinion now accepted was once eccentric.

According to my information he already got his masters back. Unfortunally he can't use it, because he doesn't own its rights.

When he ever decides to remaster those damn things he would probably overdub everything, remix it and change lyrics. Believe that!

(still it would be nice..)
