Costello catalog to BMG

- Ariel Zilber

Elvis Costello has signed an exclusive publishing deal with BMG that will encompass his entire catalog.

Terms of the deal between BMG and the British punk rocker, 67, were not disclosed.

Costello, who recently released his 32nd studio album titled “The Boy Named If,” is the latest recording star who has cashed in on deals for rights to his catalog.

“It is not often that a catalogue as distinguis­hed as Elvis Costello’s becomes available,” said Alistair Norbury, BMG’s president of repertoire & marketing in the UK.

“We look forward to working with Elvis and his management to further raise awareness and appreciati­on of one of the greatest songwriter­s the UK has produced.”

Since releasing his debut album “My Aim Is True” in 1977, Costello has won a Grammy Award and been nominated for 14 others. Costello has been inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. His hit songs include “Alison,” “Watching the Detectives,” and “Pump It Up.”
