Having signed what was ostensibly a new, 100 million dollar contract just a couple of years before, Prince was now demanding - not unreasonably to most commentators - control of his masters and the freedom to release what he wanted when he wanted.

Prince approached this task with devastating foresight as he routinely created new marketing concepts which, with time, became the norm across the music world.
