Rumours of Universal buying WB not true so...

...that means the rumours of Prince's albums being remastered and rereleased with extra trax not true either?

See the thread = http://www.prince.org/msg/7/65534

(DAMN wrong emoticon in the subject line!)

Been doing a little digging around and everything seems to point towards WB selling/merging with EMI not Universal. I suppose that doesn't rule out EMI remastering Prince's material like they did with Bowie BUT the deal would not be as straightforward as all being with Universal (who now have a publishing deal with Prince).

Have posted several links to related articles below. The gist is that all the big five music companies are in trouble and are shedding workforces and discussing mergers.

'I loved him then, I love him now and will love him eternally. He's with our son now.' Mayte 21st April 2016 = the saddest quote I have ever read! RIP Prince and thanks for everything.

I don't think anyone was speculating that Universal had bought out Warner Bros Records, just that they have managed to buy Prince's masters back from them. Who knows?

That's right you did say releases would happen in 2004. BUT you did imply that an announcement or "Truth" would be revealed in November. Or do you just love the month November full stop?
