Why hasn't Prince's 1999 been remastered?

The mastering is all wrong on this album (the highs are scratchy due to over-compression -- very noticeable on "Little Red Corvette"), Prince really seems to like money.

>> No.53878947

how do you know the compression was applied at the mastering stage?

The single tracks in Prince's Ultimate box set don't have this problem.

Isn't he on the outs with Warner Bros. again? That's probably why. things between him and his label are never peaceful long enough to start talking remasters

Is that supposed to be ironic?

>> No.53879433

i thought the distortion occured during the recording process because prince was a control freak who insisted on doing everything himself even if he didnt know how to

>> No.53879581

Has anybody got his Madhouse stuff? Can't find it anywhere
