I see I thought that when the artist made the masters THEY already owned them. Concidering its already their material and music and such. I didnt realize they had a 35 year wait to own them.

It would not surprise me one bit for the record companies to raise/change how long the artists can actually own their masters. Laws change all the time even rules.

That is what I thought I gathered as well when I kept hearing or seeing "Prince owns his masters' on threads and other sites.That confused me.

Thanks for the insight smile

There has been rumour that he may have done a deal and got them back, but I don't believe it for a minute. Prince would be telling everyone, and getting the stuff released through NPG.

Roll on 2022.....Sign o the times remastered!

I agree with you on this IF infact he already OWNED them then I/we/man of us would of saw the other albums remastered as well(that is what I thought when he redid 1999 or the one song) I had no idea he did that from memory(if that was his memory he has a crappy one IMHO, it sounded like shyt)

There have been no albums remastered professionally yet. The 1999 thing you referred to is Prince covering his own single song with a brand new revamped take on it with Larry Graham, etc playing.

Or did you know this?

Revamped or not it should not have been done IMHO.

It can depend on him contract. He may be in possession of the masters, but not be the owner of them. So he can play around with them as much as he likes, but he can't release anything without the owners say so.

With 1999, he may have made it from scratch, but my guess is he simply used a few of the old backing tapes in the process.

I forgot about that! Actually, I like the sound of the re-recorded snippets on the megamix. I thought Darling Nikki and Purple Rain sounded fresh and clean!

The 1995 release of the Purple Medley. Supposedly from the recording sessions when Prince was re-recording the back catalogue.

I listen to everything that I can purchase at a store...I have heard of several re-mixes out there...and never actually heard them...I have seen someone that owns things I never knew existed...and never heard those either...

I don't pout about it...I just wait and age like everyone else.
