      McCartney takes back catalog from EMI

      Posted April 21, 2010 by Floydian Slip

      EMI‘s troubles got a little worse with news Paul McCartney will move his back catalog to a different label.

      EMI is Pink Floyd‘s long-time label. The financially-troubled company suffered a setback last month when a court ruled in the band’s favor regarding online sales of individual Floyd tracks (“Court sides with Floyd over online sales“).

      McCartney is moving to Concord Music Group, an independent label in California, which has released his last couple albums.

      EMI has also seen The Rolling Stones leave, with the band’s back catalog; and Radiohead.

          Waters tour will extend to Europe

          Posted April 13, 2010 by Floydian Slip

          Roger Waters’ 35-date North American tour of “The Wall” announced yesterday will continue to Europe.

          The news is contained in what is practically a footnote to a story posted at cbsnews.com yesterday.

          The North American leg of the tour begins in Toronto Sept. 15 and concludes in Anaheim, Calif., on Dec. 15.

          CBS also says the tour is likely to be Waters’ last. “I’m not as young as I used to be. I’m not like B.B. King, or Muddy Waters,” he says in the story.
