I've seen it before.

Yes, I have as well, as I'm sure most serious fans have. No need to "toot-toot" that chocolatebox horn of yours

At least they didn't put in one of those annoying gigantic one-word emojis.
We should be thankfui for that.

I seriously doubt it, Chris Moon was trying to sell the rights to 'Soft & Wet' which is part that album. I doubt he could do that if WBR owns the licensing of it.

.

Chris Moon does not own the rights to the master recording. He owns half of the publishing rights. Those are two different things.
(Just checked the song's publishing info in Universal's database: it still lists Prince and C.Moon so it looks like Moon's share wasn't sold after all.)

.

And just to be clear: Warners does not "own" the licensing. The masters (and their licensing rights) are owned by the Estate, and they have licensed the WB-era masters back to Warners for certain time periods (mostly until 2021). Probably that's what you meant too, just wanted to make sure it's clear for others as well.

Warner Brothers owns the rights of the five soundtracks in perpetuity.
That's why Lonnie's $31 million deal fell apart. Universal realized they weren't getting everything.

"[Prince's] 2014 deal with Warner, had different terms for certain albums, making it incredibly complex: Warner retained the rights to soundtrack albums to Warner Bros. films — including Prince’s biggest-selling albums Purple Rain, Parade, and Batman – in perpetuity."

Wow, the price is down to $19.99 on Amazon now. Any thoughts why?

.

Prices change ALL THE TIME for stuff. There are entire websites dedicated to tracking prices on Amazon.

.

Sheesh.

Don’t know how much to read into this but my pre-order of the book was just cancelled by Amazon (UK) Glitch or ? TT.

Hello

When Amazon first listed this product there were two listings with different release information. I raised this earlier in this thread.

I placed an order for each just in case there were indeed two editions available.

Amazon's catalogue has now been cleaned up and is showing one listing. Hence why your order was cancelled.

Here is the link to the active product in their catalogue:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/...1780899173

Hope this helps.

And it was explained to you and yet you seemingly still refuse to listen. Both of the links you posted -- which go to DIFFERENT AMAZON SITES -- are still working.

Hi There,

I am aware of this as I posted those live links for people in different territories.

For those who like the detail and don't want to do a quick search for themselves on Amazon, here are the links that are actually being discussed:

Live link with confirmed publisher information and ISBN codes:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/...1780899173

Dead link for cancelled product with different publisher and different ISBN codes:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/...0399589651

Hence the reason why some fans ordered both just in case one was a special edition as it can take time for the Amazon database to eventually get updated.

Hope this helps.

I just read 90+ pages of a document today at work and it was 50+ pages too long.

So it depends on whether P's book is single spaced or double space.

When Prince signed the contract for this book, he submitted a 50 pages treatment. . And it was announced months before he died. If it was announced, the I think the book was scheduled to be released something like 12 months after. So that means that Prince never wrote anything more than the initial 50 pages treatment? Even after his almost death experience in a plane? Or is it possible Prince wrote more ( including name of future chapters, Synopsys, etc) but he never sent it to his ghostwriter or to the editor ? Maybe more pages are somewhere in the vault, or under his bed...

Prince(r.i.p.) only announced his forthcoming memoir, barely a month before his tragic shocking transitioning into his afterlife. Which was expected to be released by the fall of the following year. So he was going to continue writing more as the months came along. Disappointedly he wasn't able to complete it.
