Does Universal already own Prince's catalogue?

From their website http://new.umusic.com/overview.aspx :

UMPG also owns or administers a multitude of prestigious catalogs including Interscope; Def Jam Music, All Nations Music, Charlie Daniels, Matraca Berg, Prince, Forerunner Music, Epitaph, Greenwich/Barry, Momentum Publishing, and John Philips.


Also Universal released a Prince hits cd in Asia. I have pictures of the front and back but my hosting is down right now. I can send it to someone if they want.

Sorry if this has all been mentioned before, I'm new here.

This is new to me, it sounds quite interesting really.

Is there any place on the net where I can find the Asian best of cd under Universal?

Universal as in UMPG (Universal Music Publishing Group)administer the publishing rights for Prince's catalogue, as they have done for several years. So if a Prince song is played on the radio (regardless of whether the master recording is owned by Prince or Warner Brothers), there is money due to Prince as owner of the song.

For the administration of these rights, they will collect a fee or percentage of the monies collected.

Can you tell us the title and describe the cover in any detail?
