Bob Dylan announced his master recordings will be staying "where they belong" after he sold the catalog to Sony Music Entertainment’s Columbia Records.

The 11-time Grammy winner, 80, has been with Columbia for six decades. The deal, which was struck with the record company last summer, had finally closed in July 2021, according to Rolling Stone.

"Columbia Records and Rob Stringer have been nothing but good to me for many, many years and a whole lot of records," Dylan said of the catalog, which sold for an undisclosed amount. "I'm glad that all my recordings can stay where they belong."

Meanwhile, Variety reports the deal was worth between $150 million and $200 million.
