I find it humorous that this one is popping up again. What's it been, like 2 years since this was first rumored? You'd think it would not be that big of a deal to get the tunes remastered and released.

Yay! And Ho-hum.

FInally! a real reason for the STREET to take notice of undervalued stock! Do you need a high school diploma to work the Street????

Does anyone really care?

Maybe this will help the stock "get back to where it once belonged."

Since their relationship splintered, plane Heather wood rather see Paul in a pine box than to receive more royalties. Now pegged as a bitch for barking up the wrong tree for more pounds, and stumped as to how this happened, she will hopefully lathe low and allow Paul to enjoy the spotlight. This will make her look better in public poles than taking Sir Paul to the wood mill, er, shed.

@ wijawe and Winston

Perhaps it's not that Apple's stock is now undervalued, but that it was overvalued before.

Does it matter? People who want the Beetles songs on their iPods, will already have them on their iPods.

Why does Paul need to sell Beatle downloads to pay for his divorce?
He could just sell hampshire and pay for it with the proceeds.

**YAWN**


If I had a dollar for every-time this made the headlines, I'd be rich.

Not that I don't care, but it'll happen when it happens. I'll be glad, but this is not going to make my life, or anyone else's for that matter, better.

I agree... Who cares anymore. Beetles on the iPod are so passé...

We already have them on our iTunes and iPods because we ripped them from our CDs long, long ago...

Chris

p.s. I find it funny the comment about paying for Paul's divorce, heh I thought that too...

No need to give him more money. I will continue to listen to my vinyl albums.

@JayGee

Wrong, I want the Beatles and I don't have them on my iPod. I am waiting for them to go up on iTunes and I'm sure I'm not the only one.

Sorry, Sir. Already acquired my Beatles music by other means.

Your arrogance has cost you dearly already. Take your albums and shove em.

Yeah, I think this is pretty good news. Don't forget about all of those 14 year olds out there who are on the brink of discovering The Beatles. It's not just about you....

Oh for the love of.. goddesses. Who cares?

This makes sense. Last night on American Idol, Ryan mentioned that the rights to Beatles songs had been secured, and since the performances are only available from iTunes...

MDN, you should do a recap of the other 19 times this has been posted...

Anyways, I find it funny he wants to wait until the wifey's claws are out of his pocket before releasing it. Smart guy. He's probably been staring at her for the last two years just thinking "I know I am getting rid of you sooner or later, and I can't even think of letting you get half of the iTunes sales!"

To TowerTone: Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's too bad she didn't have a leg to stand on.

Amazing how ungrateful she is considering how generous Paul was to her. Did you know that, once, for her birthday he bought her a plane? And for the other leg he bought her a LadyShave!

Should help pay for a few tins of Ronseal.

Mar 07, 08 - 11:38 am Comment from: TowerTone

To Ampar: I don't think he will be writing any 'sappy love songs' for her.

Mar 07, 08 - 11:39 am Comment from: Dude

Beatles???? Fffffft, really does anyone care outside of the aging Hippies? "All you need is love?", more like "All you need is Geritol" Oh wait...

Led Zeppelin forever! The mothership has already landed at the ITMS.

@ Dude

As long as people listen to Beatles and Led Z, people will care and will continue to buy.

As far as why would people pay for them on iTunes when it does *eventually* get released? Same reason that Star Wars fans buy versions of the six-pack movies when they come out in stores: because they're there.

*goes back to watch ANH on VHS....* Hee-hee....Chewie...

Umm....Beatles who?

I´ve heard from a source that Duke Nukem Forever for mac appears on the same day.

I want FZ on itunes.

Yawn. How many years have we been hearing this one for?

We may have ripped our beatles cd's and have them on our ipods, but I'm looking for re-mastered versions, if they release them I'll buy them ALL again...beatles tunes as they stand are music in one ear vocals in the other (for the early stuff), it's awful to listen to on an ipod, so bring it the re-mastered goodness!

Once the settlement figure is decided, I wonder what it will work out to per lay? She must have been his most expensive piece of @$$ he's ever had.

At those prices, he had better of been railing that - hard and often!

And in other news, the G5 PowerBooks are rumored to appear soon.

Seriously though, it's about time to get the Beatles online.

If you are going to steal from the dead, at least give them credit!

That line is from Douglas Adams (who was a famous Mac user to boot!) from one of the 5 volumes of the Hitchhikers Guide to Galaxy trilogy. From Life, The Universe, and Everything, if I remember correctly.

The whole point is that these are going to be remastered versions of the albums. They didn't do any remastering for the CD versions. If you can still listen to vinyl, good on you, but if you want to hear it digitally at its best, these new versions will be the first time you can.

"I want FZ on itunes."

I didn't know Frank Zappa wasn't on it.
I know WAR isn't.
I had to get "Gypsy Man" off of Amazon.

Already have all of them, English and spanish versions, including most of the studio cuts. Would like to see them there just to have this mess resolved so that we can move on, but it won;t affect me other than as a shareholder.

Capitol has released everything from "The "Early Beatles" (formerly known as "Introducing the Beatles" their very first album) through "Rubber Soul."

So all I need is everything after that, because those Red and Blue collection CD do not have all the songs from all the albums. Just what some exec thought you should have. I want exact matches to all my scratched albums damn it.
