<\/a>Streaming services such as Spotify<\/strong> and Amazon<\/strong> have started offering a dozen Pink Floyd<\/strong> concert recordings from 1971.<\/p>\n

The mysterious offerings might be an attempt by the band and its label to claim copyright of the works, as they’re all turning 50 years old this year. The band seems to have made a similar move when it issued six previously-unreleased songs as the EP “1965 \u2014 Their First Recordings” in 2015.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe copyright law in Europe was recently extended from 50 to 70 years for everything recorded in 1963 and beyond,” a Sony representative told Rolling Stone in 2013. “With everything before that, there\u2019s a new \u2018Use It or Lose It\u2019 provision. It basically said, \u2018If you haven\u2019t used the recordings in the first 50 years, you aren\u2019t going to get any more.’\u201d<\/p>\n

A source close to the band tells “Floydian Slip” the recordings are “bootlegs” and might not remain permanently available.<\/p>\n
