THE Beatles’ record label Apple is to release songs as downloads for the first time – but the Fab Four’s tunes are not among them.
The company has remastered 15 of its “key” albums, including releases by Badfinger, Mary Hopkin and classical composer Sir John Tavener.
The set will be released on CD and download – including iTunes – in October.
Fans have wondered when The Beatles will make their music available for download and yesterday’s move will raise hopes a deal may not be too far away. Sir Paul McCartney has previously put the blame on record label EMI.
