The British rock band Pink Floyd is adding to its gravy train by selling its music, name, image and likeness rights to Sony Music.

The deal totaled $400 million for the package, including albums such as “The Dark Side of the Moon,” which has spent a record 990 weeks on the Billboard 200 chart over the half-century since its 1973 release.

All three surviving members of the band — chief songwriters Roger Waters and David Gilmour and drummer Nick Mason — were party to the deal, as were the estates of keyboard player Richard Wright and the band’s founder, Syd Barrett, according to Variety.

A 2022 attempt to sell the rights, which attracted bidders BMG, Warner Music and the British firm Hipgnosis that designed much of Pink Floyd’s album artwork, fell through.

Mr. Gilmour previously said that a veto from one of the involved parties had kept the catalog from being sold.

“To be rid of the decision-making and the arguments that are involved with keeping it going is my dream. … I’m only interested in it from getting out of the mud bath that it has been for quite a while. … It works on a veto system. You could say it’s three people saying yes, but one person saying no,” he told Rolling Stone in August.
