The Magnificent Goldberg Posted October 6, 2012 Report Posted October 6, 2012 According to the European Commission’s conditions for approving the deal, Universal must sell off EMI’s prestigious Parlophone label along with a long list of other labels and assets, which means that the worldwide rights to release music by superstars like Coldplay, Pink Floyd and Kylie Minogue will be up for grabs. How does this match with this? We are acquiring incredible labels and a roster of stellar talent, including top-selling artists like Katy Perry, Lady Antebellum, the Beatles and the Beach Boys. The Beatles were on Parlophone. MG Quote
