Prince ring back tones at Verizon: why all live? OK I didn't listen to all of them, but the ones I"d be interested in from the 80's are all from a live concert.
What's the deal with that? 1. Why no acutal recordings (The clips themselves were poorly chosen: one of the Raspberry Beret ones has lots of banter) 2. What concert are these from? As far as I know, there is no official live version of this stuff available.  |

because prince has the composition copyright but not the recording copyright. Its the old masters issue. | |

So he can't license ringtones of the studio versions without WB's permission? (or he just doesn't want WB to get some royalties too?) Also, I thought WB no longer has his masters?? Thirdly, so P sold his live recordings as ringtones but won't release them to us on CD?  |

The ones you see on Verizon and other cell phone companies are snippets fromt he One Nite Alone Live cd. **--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••-
