Beatles’ bootlegged products soar following business manager’s death

This article is a bit misleading.  It makes it sound as if Apple is floundering with the sad death of Neil Aspinall.  Neail has not been the head of Apple for some time.  He retired last year.  Maybe he stayed on as an advisor, but somehow we don’t think that’s the case.
 
Apple has been in [...]

Apple licensing Beatles to whole new generation.

Being a Beatle fan can be a bit of a catch-22.  We love the music, we love the boys, we love the hysteria, but somehow some of us complain a bit that they are/were so heavily marketed.  Well folks, the marketing machine is firing up yet again.
In the past, we have seen Beatles images plastered [...]

Sony keen for the Beatles to go digital.

Aside from stating the obvious here, it seems that Sony is just as excited about releasing The Beatles into the digital realm as the fans are to receive them.  I mean, of course.  The record company would get quite a windfall once the coveted group is available in the digital world.

As fans, we are relegated [...]

George Harrison “The Collection” due out June 24th.

We had not heard any new whatsoever about  the release of a new George Harrison collection coming out in the near future.  It is coming…
It looks like there may be hints of some king of release on the horizon however.  We do not have any details, aside from this small blurb.  Perhaps, it is a [...]

Now and Then: to released as an elegy to fallen friend(s) + VIDEO.

There will always be rumors surrounding the Fab Four, even long after they are gone.  We’ve had news reports and rumors about the remastered back catalog.  We’ve had rumors about Anthology Threetle tracks that have never been finished.  Well folks, we have another one here.  The long-talked about lost Lennon song is being spotlighted in the news once again. 
We [...]

iTunes Beatles folly

I have to say, a lot of the sentiments stated in this article have crossed my mind periodically.  Can internet users, even those less technologically advanced ones, can find Beatles tunes out in the interwebs if they look.  They don’t even need to look that hard. 

It is astonishing to think of the opportunities missed by [...]

Beatles’ iPhone app is developed.

It looks like some crafty iPhone user has generated a new, basic, app for their iphone.  It seems kind of rudimentary, but does give a basic discography, and biography.  It’s cool to play around with and try.  It looks like more features are in the works as well.  It’sa neat little application.

Check it out here.

Guitar Hero fans may soon strum Beatles + fan-made VIDEO.

Does anyone else think that it would be weird to see the Beatles with their own Guitar Hero game before seeing their music up for download on iTunes?  I do…
You’d think that, if the rumors about this release is true,  the software company would at least wait until the download/iTunes deal is finalized.  You’d think [...]

Beatles are suing over early live bootleg

Lawsuits, lawsuits, and more lawsuits.  It seems that there have been tons of them throughout the history of our famed group.  It would really be interesting to see a book on the history of Beatle lawsuits.  No, it’s not the most creative title, but it would make for a good book.  You could call it,”you never [...]

Beatles songs on iTunes: Sony/ATV says it’s ‘untrue’

Well folks rumors are still rumors. Take them for what they are worth. It looks like the grumblings that we have heard on and off for the last couple of days hold very little water. The reports we read from British newspapers, that we reported on earlier, are nothing more than rumors [...]
