Sir Paul McCartney has reported to be transferring his solo back catalogue from struggling EMI to independent label Concord Music Group.
According to news service Reuters, the Concord label will begin re-issuing McCartney’s solo catalogue in August, beginning with Wings’ Band On The Run. Sir Paul’s new deal consists of two dozen albums, including the release of his most recent album Memory Almost Full and his 2009 live CD/DVD Good Evening New York City.
Celebrating his 40th anniversary as a solo artist, the singer commented “Since the release of ‘Memory Almost Full’ in 2007 I’ve had a good working relationship with Concord and enjoyed our mutual love of music”.
This is sure to hit financially troubled EMI, who are fighting to survive after their 2007 takeover by private equity group Terra Firma.
