Sony Music Entertainment said it has acquired Bob Dylan’s catalog of recorded music, including his performances of such popular songs as Blowin in the Wind and Knockin on Heaven’s Door, as well as the rights to future releases. The deal is the latest in Sony Music’s six-decade relationship with the artist, and covers Dylan’s body of work since 1962. Variety cited sources who valued the deal at $150 million to $200 million. Neither Sony nor Dylan’s representative would comment on deal terms. Dylan, 80, sold his songwriting catalog to Universal Music Publishing Group in December for a reported $300 million.
