Aaaahhh Prince. That little Freak! When that first Purple
Rain movie came out I had just graduated high school, fun memories of group of
friends going to see the movie, playing that tape and going to the lake to hang
out and make out. And of course, I was also converting followers to Yello
by then!
I
didn't know that was why he changed his name.
Interesting.
Tou
have to wait until the contract expires, and the rights to the published music
returns to the artist before this can happen. This happened to PRINCE, after
he got shafted by SONY, he couldn't even usr his name, as that was partof the
contract. Now that that has expired, he is using it again. Remember 'The
Artist Formerly Known AS.." and for a while, he was just using an old Egyption
Hyroglyph, to get around that sticky part.

Don't be so sure about this. Yello may have a
contract with the record
label(s) which prevents them from selling their
songs directly.
I know that many artists cannot sell their own CD for
less than retail prices
because the record company does not want
competition from the artist on price.
They do give the artist hundreds
of copies of their music, but they cannot
legally sell the CDs for a
"fair" price (fair being a lot lower than retail).
Business is
complex, and often hard to
understand.
