BBC and EMI strike deal to put out unreleased music by Beach Boys, McCartney, Pink Floyd and more

Thousands of hours of radio and TV performances by EMI recording artists lingering in the BBC vaults may start slowly creeping out thanks to a new deal between the label and broadcaster, NME reports.

The recordings include live radio sessions from Pink Floyd - including songs from their 1967 debut album 'Piper At The Gates Of Dawn', when Syd Barrett, was still in the band and a stripped-down version of Coldplay's 2000 hit 'Shiver'.

The deal will mean EMI can include these BBC recordings from their artists on DVDs, CDs and digital downloads, and will build on recordings from artists already released by the BBC, including Queen and Roxy Music.
