Through the deal, announced today, Pink Floyd Music Publishers has  struck a deal that will see Imagem Music U.K. administer the songs of  David Gilmour, Nick Mason and Richard Wright in the Pink Floyd catalog.  The works of Roger Waters remain with Warner\/Chappell. Pink Floyd have self-published for more than 40 years through Pink  Floyd Music Publishers, under the stewardship of Peter Barnes.   <!--more-->  <\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>This new worldwide agreement covers the seminal albums from \u201cAtom  Heart Mother\u201d to \u201cThe Dark Side Of The Moon\u201d and through to \u201cThe  Division Bell\u201d as well as their respective solo albums, and came into  effect from July 1, 2013.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a big change for us,\u201d comments Paul Loasby, Tony Smith and  Garth Tweedale, managers for their respective clients in Pink Floyd.  \u201cTogether with Peter Barnes we did a detailed review that made us really  think about what we needed from a publisher partner. That\u2019s not easy  when the band had effectively done their own publishing via Peter Barnes  for PFMP since the days of Atom Heart Mother.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The trio added, \u201cWe wanted all the flexibility we have now combined  with creativity, enthusiasm and the ability to punch its weight for us  in the digital world.\u00a0 We met and liked the team and we all feel that we  are going to get the sort of personal service we need. We are very much  looking forward to it\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Pink Floyd&#8217;s desire to punch hard in the digital world is worth  noting. The band has until recently moved at glacial pace toward the  digital business. Last month, Pink Floyd struck a promotional campaign  with Spotify to enable their catalog to be streamed via the subscription  service. Earlier, Pink Floyd entered (and subsequently settled) a legal  battle with EMI over the label&#8217;s right to &#8220;unbundle&#8221; their albums and  sell individual tracks online.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Pink Floyd is one of the biggest acts in recorded music history.  According to EMI, their record label, the band have sold more than 200  million albums worldwide, and in the United States alone, 1973&#8217;s \u201cThe  Dark Side of the Moon\u201d has sold upwards of 45 million copies and is the  country&#8217;s third best-selling album ever.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Imagem was founded in 2008 by Group CEO Andr\u00e9 de Raaff and has  offices in New York, Los Angeles, London, Paris, Milan, Barcelona,  Berlin, Brussels and Amsterdam with exclusive agents throughout the  world.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Source: Billboard<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pink Floyd have partnered with Imagem Music U.K. for their publishing.
