It should come <I>after</I> a proper overhaul of the catalogue. <BR/><BR/>After Apple Corps have put out the remasters and a 5.1 compilation only then should they bother with iTunes. <BR/><BR/>The only things that an iTunes agreement will do is, one, boost the credibility of iTunes and two put some more cash in the Apple Corps box.<BR/><BR/>From a negotiation point of view Apple Corps have the upper hand. They don't <I>need</I> iTunes thank you very much. A physical reissue of the remastered back catalogue along with blu-ray releases of the movies and promo video compilations will yield more revenue for Apple Corps and , more importantly, address the Beatles legacy.<BR/><BR/>Right now the folk that the Beatles want to keep onside are the retail industry. The world is changing fast and the most important partner to Apple Corps is in turmoil. <BR/><BR/>Apple Corps: you better get the finger out or you might find your negotiation position in freefall.iMADEtheBBChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02093688875467499436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3761127720236498695.post-44698312202574113442009-01-26T00:23:00.000-08:002009-01-26T00:23:00.000-08:00Interesting post.

Making it too easy to copy their songs or inferior quality. Each of these are bogus. But, their choice. Technology will march on regardless. The more interesting trend is single-outlet sales, ie. AC/DC, Eagles, Springsteen, etc. <BR/>You showed up on Google's news reader so that's cool.<BR/>I have a music news site at <A HREF="http://www.lakinreport.com" REL="nofollow">Lakin Report</A>.
