Beatles Catalog Going Digital
April 24th, 2006The Beatles’ lucrative catalog will soon be sold in digital form online, according to the director of the band’s Apple Corps record label, Reuters reported. Neil Aspinall, the band’s road manager and now head of Apple Corps, testified that the catalog is being digitally remastered, during the label’s case against Apple Computer — over that company’s forays into the music industry. “I think it would be wrong to offer downloads of the old masters when I am making new masters,” Aspinall testified. “It would be better to wait and try to do them both simultaneously so that you then get the publicity of the new masters and the downloading, rather than just doing it ad hoc.” An Apple Corps spokeswoman confirmed for Reuters that the label will make Beatles songs available from online retailers, but dot not specify a date.
