Beatles Coming On Valentines Day?

Tuesday January 16, 2007 6:41 am PST by longofest
Electronista is reporting a vague and unconfirmed claim that the Beatles will come to iTunes on or around Valentines Day.

The announcement will involve "Love," as well. Our source says Apple will have a three month exclusive window for both downloads and remasters. The street release schedule for the remasters was not clear. Conflicting information from our source said that they might be released both all together or in groups, as was done when the first Beatles CDs were released. A compilation is also being discussed, but no firm details are available, the source says.


Steve Jobs curiously showed a collection of Beatles tunes on his demonstration iPhone during the MWSF keynote, which may be signaling the pending release of such a deal. On the other hand, such a demonstration may also be leading to false reports.

Hope it's true. That would be a serious feather in the Apple/iTunes cap. And with all the Beatles references at MWSF it seems to have some credence.

Let's not forget that Steve Jobs also played The Beatles at the initial iPod media event back in '01. He even sang along. Not that it adds or detracts from any other credible remarks, but his use of Beatles on the iPhone should add no further evidence to this rumor.

If this is true, and in light of the recent rule changes to the UK Top 40 music chart, the Beatles will have the music chart all to themselves. A new entry at #1, #2, #3, #4, #5, #6, #7, #8...

Theories concerning all the Beatles music during the keynote:

1. There is a deal which will be announced in the future.
2. A tactic to generate discussion and convince Apple Music that there is great interest in such a deal and it would serve them well to make such a deal.
3. Steve likes Beatles music.
