The Vault: Old Friends 4 Sale

From what I gather, Warner Brother released this album without Prince having any say in the matter - in that case, does anyone know would Warner Brothers be able to release another type of album with unreleased material?

Prince is no longer contractually obliged to deliver further new material to WB for release, and WB has no contractual right to release further unreleased Prince material.

The answer is 'No'.
Warner Bros DIDN'T release 'The Vault...Old Friends 4 Sale' without Prince
having any say in the matter at all, it was the other way round...
Prince issued them with the album as a 'take it or leave it' contract filler.
The only decision WB could make with the album was whether to release it
or not, and if so when.

Only in the form of in-house promos etc.
Not in any format that could actually be used.
