Former Apple press officer Geoff Baker said: “I can’t see how The Beatles’ legacy will be looked after as well without him, and I’m amazed that Paul and Ringo are letting this happen.”
Aspinall’s departure comes just two months after Apple Corps settled a trademark squabble with computer company Apple, a deal that could finally pave the way for the Fab Four's songs to be sold on the iTunes music store.
At the time, Aspinall said it was great to put the dispute behind them, with the years ahead expected to be very exciting.
The Beatles have been high-profile absentees from internet music services such as iTunes, but it emerged during the trial of the trademark dispute that Apple Corps was preparing the band's catalogue to be sold online for the first time.
