Jon actually signed with Mercury which folded into Island which later on became the Island Def Jam Music Group. And all of them belong to Universal, just like A&M does.
Why he returned? I guess nobody around here can answer that unless he has some inside information.
My guess would be that he either didn't find a label that met his expectations or that Universal retouched their offer. Probably it was a mix of both.

I have to guess it was based around the masters per his lyrics in Burning Bridge but not sure if he got them back. I was under the impression though he did resign it was more of a distribution deal than a full fledged contract like before. Feels like everything is done more-in house now and the label just handles getting it out which explains a LOT.
