Paul: Beatles Download Deal “Virtually Settled.” Ringo: “Gear. Fab.”
Confirming long-standing rumors from…earlier this week, Paul McCartney has confirmed to Billboard that his new solo album “Memory Almost Full,” will be distributed via the ITunes Store through Starbucks’s Hear Music label. Of much greater interest to everyone but five of Paul’s most loyal fans is that the Beatles might soon be ready to pull the trigger on a deal for digital distribution.
McCartney also has told Billboard that a deal to finally make the Beatles catalog available for sale online is “virtually settled.”
McCartney added, “I don’t want to pre-empt anything, but we’re well on the way to something happening there, which is very exciting.”
Keep your fingers crossed. If all goes well, there will finally be a way to find the music of the Beatles on the Internet! You’ll be able to visit “Penny Lane,” and “Strawberry Fie…” What’s that? Unauthorized copying? Never heard of it.
