The new deal covers Harrison’s own solo recordings. Three deals and you get a free coffee, I think.Under the new arrangement, Harrisons’ solo output will become part of the Dark Horse catalogue, that label now being headed up by his son Dhani with distribution handled by the BMG machine.
To celebrate the new deal and what would have been Harrison’s 80th birthday on 25 Feb, his catalogue is being released in Dolby Atmos surround sound on Apple Music.Says Dhani Harrison: “22 years since his passing, for what would have been his 80th birthday, I am overjoyed to announce that we are bringing my father’s music catalogue back home to Dark Horse Records, the company he started back in 1974”.“We look forward to releasing only the finest of packages and hope the fans join us on the deepest of dives into our archives as we continue to grow his legacy through our partnership with BMG”, he goes on, “starting with the release of his entire back catalogue in spatial audio, for the first time, on Apple Music.
We also will be using this opportunity to make all the custom limited vinyl that we can get away with. Happy 80th Dad! We love you always”.And BMG boss Hartwig Masuch adds: “This is a banner day for BMG, bringing together for the first time the song and recorded rights of one of the greatest musicians in popular music history under one roof.
