labels are indeed digusting lol but I really believe that if Prince hadn't carried on the way he did,Warners would have been more willing to negotiate with Prince,regarding ownership of his masters.

Possibly, but now that Warners have set a precedent, will that make it easier for Prince to get his back, should he want to?

Well done to Metallica!!!

that's a good question hmmm we'll have to see what happens next.

WB has no reason cu.rrently to give masters back to him.
Nick Ashford was someone I greatly admired, had the honor of knowing, and was the real-life inspiration for Cowboy Curtis' hair. RIP Nick. - Pee Wee Herman

This is not always a good thing. Ray Charles got the masters for his albums from 196something to 1973 and they have yet to be released on cd.

I'm not sure what happened with Ray Charles' masters, but the article said Metallica we be doing reissues of their catalog along with new material on their indie label.

Motley Crue did the same thing a while ago when they got rights back from Elektra Records (another division of Warner Bros) and rereleased their entire catalog on their own label, too.
