Sony strikes deal to acquire Pink Floyd catalog in $400 million deal, say sources

[Victor Bisio]

I have all the Pink Floyd I could ever need...

I don't care what they do with The Wall anymore. I guess you can say that I have become comfortably numb on the matter.

Agreed. The Wall can hit the bricks

Well, it would be cool to own a copy of DSOTM with the planetarium video.

No doubt, more rights issues.

I was going to say $400 million is cheap compared to $1 billion for the Queen deal, but that deal included publishing rights. And Queen do mostly agree, Freddie's estate and John Deacon have basic left Brian and Roger to it and said "if we don't agree with anything you'll hear about it".

What's going to happen with Meddle?

 

[Petr Kropotkin]

Great news if it means a return to releases with coasters, scarves, marbles, and stickers. No need for those disc things.

 

[Simon A]

What's going to happen with Meddle?

Don't worry, Roger will find a way to meddle with it...

Maybe a Sony Japan 7" deluxe version of the Wall!
