The deal, for about 10 recordings through 2017, will guarantee the Jackson
estate up to $250 million in advances and other payments and offer an especially

spiked after his death in June at the age of 50. With overall record sales on a
decade-long plunge, mega-deals like this one have become rare, and Mr. Branca
said the deal “exceeds all previous industry benchmarks.” Five years ago Bruce
Springsteen signed a deal with Sony worth a reported $110...
