So, having finally reached a deal with The Beatles to get the Fab Four’s music on sale online late last year, EMI has now entered into a new agreement with another of its heritage acts, this time good old Pink Floyd, who have spent some time in court with their long term record label of late while also trying to renegotiate their relationship with the major.

EMI said the new deal is global, will run for five years and brings to an end all and any legal squabbling between the company and the band. So, that’s nice.

Here’s EMI top man Rodge Faxon confirming the new deal: “Pink Floyd are one of the most important and influential bands of all time and I know I speak for everyone at EMI when I say that it is a privilege to have the opportunity to work with them. We’re looking forward to continuing to help the band reach new and existing fans through their incredible body of work”.
