I’ve had enough Pink Floyd for one lifetime, but maybe SONY can make an action movie! Compete with Disney and Marvel! Put the boys in capes or space suits. The sky is the limit.

"Un gout"? No, thanks. I already have gout; I don't need any more.

When Michael Jackson bought the entire Beatles Catalog he did not realize that Little Richard’s catalog came with it. He gave it all back to Little Richard, free of charge.

Who is left of the upper tier rockers to sell their catalog? Floyd was one of the major holdouts, but I believe Zep and the Stones are still available...for a substantial price (though in the Stones case, they'd rather screw over the Kleins and deny the sale).

But not the publishing IIRC

That's pretty significant isn't it? Seems like they got the best of both worlds, unless I am misunderstanding...

Apparently $400M is sufficient for Roger to put aside the differences with Nick, Dave, and Rick's estate

That absolutely destroyed Jackson's friendship with Paul. When Michael told Paul he planned on buying the catalog, Paul thought Michael was joking.

from variety:
The deal comprises recorded-music rights but not songwriting, which is held by the individual writers, as well as name-and-likeness, which includes merchandise, theatrical and similar rights

$400 mill and the band keeps the publishing??? SWEET.

Paul bitched about it, but the general response to that was "why not buy it yourself you cheapskate"

I think Gilmour alluded to something like this (or was it Mason?) or I read it somewhere that he would love to extract the whole band from the decision making process when it comes releases of their music. I wonder if this deal then also covers anything that is in the archives i.e. live recordings etc.

If it's recorded it belongs to Sony now essentially

What with the early years set, which covered the bulk and more of my archive Floyd needs, what might we expect Sony to do to milk the catalogue drier than Gandhi's flip flops?
