Prince fans are accustomed to not getting what they want. That's one reason Friday's news came as a shock — that Prince has re-signed, for the first time in 18 years, with Warner Bros. Records, and that an expanded edition of Purple Rain, in time for its 30th anniversary, as well as a new album and unnamed "other planned projects" to come, are all on the way (including a new song, released late last night). Oh — and Prince now owns the master recordings of his iconic '80s recordings, the bone of contention behind his very public, very acrimonious split with the label in the mid-'90s.

FUCKING FINALLY. Remastered versions of the classic albums!

Prince is coming to Portland in July to play the newly renovated Civic Center here. I never thought I'd see the day where Prince came to Maine but here it is. I know tickets are gonna cost an arm and leg but I'll be there. Seeing Prince ten years ago at the TD Garden on the Musicology tour was the best live show I've ever seen.

That New Girl episode featuring Prince is the only episode of the show I've seen. Pretty bad!

I've seen at least 1 concert a year since 1996. I've seen all kinds of music and some great shows. Prince at MSG a few years ago was, without a doubt, the best show I've ever seen. It was the third show of 3. It was supposed to just be Prince for 3 hours, but for the third show he had Morris Day and the Time open. It was the first time I had ever seen an opening act go for over an hour and have an encore. Amazing stuff.

This news is awesome.

Jack White said in an interview in the latest issue of Mojo Magazine that Third Man Records has acquired the rights to Camille, the unreleased 1986 album where Prince pitch shifted his voice to sound like a woman.

Have absolutlely no memory of this. It didn't happen obviously. Even Prince's Wiki article on canceled show doesn't mention anything about him being scheduled to play in Portland, Maine in July 2014! Must've been one of my dumbass friends spreading rumors!
