Live Nation Merchandising Inc. filed suit in U.S. District Court in Boston over the use of Pink Floyd co-founder Roger Waters’ image on T-shirts and other merchandise.

Live Nation says it has the exclusive right to market merchandise before, during and after “The Wall” performances.
Bootleg concert merchandise … there’s something you don’t see everyday.

Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason has indicated a Pink Floyd anthology and catalog reissue might be in the works.
His comments appear in an interview published in the recent issue of Rhythm magazine.
“We’ve been developing the idea of a Pink Floyd anthology for a long time. I’ve spent quite a lot of time trying to find the material. I really enjoy that, but it’s time consuming,” he says.
“We’re talking about doing a big reissue of the Pink Floyd catalogue because there is the belief that there eventually will be the point that there simply won’t be enough market to generate those sort of packages. That would be a tragedy, so it’s a good time to do it.”
