After Warners withdrew
this was a chance this was going to be Broken into a Cash sale in bits.
As the Former Owners a Bank were running out of choices.

So Universal
can Expand EMI into a New Market.


And I hope more into DTS 5.1
which the Beatles need more.


"Universal Music, the world's biggest record company, is poised to announce the £1.2bn purchase of EMI's recorded music division, home to the Beatles, Coldplay and Tinie Tempah.
The sale is the first part of the break-up of the 114-year-old British company, which is likely to be followed by the EMI's music publishing division, most likely to a consortium led by Sony for in excess of $2bn (£1.26bn).
Although the enlarged Universal will now account a third of all music sales worldwide, company executives believe they can persuade regulators to allow it to swallow the business whole because the music industry is in such decline."
