And if WB/Prince make the deal that is rumored to be in the works regarding remastering and bonus material,

There's a rumour?

All I heard about was that Prince was 'at' WB. Is there more to the story that I didn't hear? Oh god, I hope so...

And anybody who doesn't believe that remastering can be done with style and restraint should really check out the new Deluxe Editions of a-ha's Hunting High and Low and Scoundrel Days... music

Totally agree, the a-ha reissues sound fantastic. So do The Beatles reissues, and the recent Hendrix releases. There are plenty of examples of remasters done the right way (and there are sadly some that were pretty bad, too.)

The "rumor" is that Prince and WB were in negotiations to remaster the back catalog. This was started last year I believe. Both parties have to agree before any changes can be made to those old CDs and their sound & configurations.

Reportedly, the issue now is/was money, and I would assume Prince wants that money up front. lol

If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot.

Well if, to make his case, Prince needs people to swear on a stack of Watchtowers that they'll buy these reissues, I will happily do so! lol
