Pop star Prince has a signed a major deal with Warner Bros Records, the label he famously fell out with nearly 20 years ago. The split was so acrimonious that Prince called himself a slave and changed his stage name to a symbol. Now Prince says the new deal will see a release of his classic album “Purple Rain”, in time for its 30th anniversary. He will also regain ownership of master recordings made during his previous deal with Warner Bros. The album will be given a “deluxe reissue” to coincide with its milestone. More of his classic albums are expected to get the same treatment.
Prince signed to Warner Bros records in 1977 and they released the biggest albums of his career - among them “Purple Rain”, “Sign O The Times” and the soundtrack to Tim Burton's Batman movie in 1989. But by the time of 1991's “Diamonds and Pearls”, the relationship had soured.
