Doesn't the video for Even Better Than The Real Thing feature a quick image of Prince, among others such as Hendrix, Dylan, and Elvis? Not bad company?????

absolutely.

Wasn't that the other way around? To my understanding U2 always owned their masters, because they made a deal in which they earned less royalties than normal and Bono then told Prince about the importance of owning masters.

that is completely correct. prince ASKED bono how they managed to own all of their masters and bono's reply was to cut back on royalties. he basically told prince that you've got to give the label something. let them have the royalties and you can own your music, to do with it what you want.

Yeah... I remember it like that... but that wasn't exactly what Prince wanted to hear... he wants the cake and eat it all by himself too.
