Apparently these are the two guitarsincludedin The Beatles: Rock Band, the Rickenbacker 325 played by Lennon and a Gretsch Duo Jet, played by Harrison—although I always remember him with the Country Gentleman. [Updated] More » -

Sorry Stereo, But Beatles in Mono Rocks a Lot More
Beatles' record producer and arranger George Martin—the Fifth Beatle—once said: "You've never really heard Sgt Pepper until you've heard it in mono." As it turned out after hours of listening tests, it's completely true. More » -

Paul McCartney Signs $400 Million iTunes Deal For The Beatles Catalog
Finally! Paul McCartney has signed a $400 million deal, which will see the Beatles catalog make its way to iTunes, at long last. UPDATE: While the UPI is a great source, and their story was written as fact, Sony/ATV, holders of much of the Beatles publishing rights, are throwing doubt on any of this being true. The UPI could have been had, too. Consider their source, the Daily Mail. And EMI, who we contacted directly, denies any news, either. More » -

Yellow Submarine iPod Forthcoming, Loaded with Entire Beatles Catalog?
Hi there, Beatles haters. Please skip on down to the next post, and keep listening to that crappy music that will never measure up to the virtuosity and creativity of the musical entity that defined the 20th Century. Okay, now that they're gone, if you are wishful-thinking rumor hater, please leave too. Because this is what we have here—the next unlikely and reheated rumor in the saga of the Beatles and Apple: a Yellow Submarine-like iPod shipping soon with the entire Beatles catalog loaded on board.

Paul McCartney Teases Us By Releasing Solo Material Online
We're ever so close to getting The Beatles' catalog online for purchase, I swear. Today's update involves Paul McCartney, who is releasing his entire catalog (both solo and, ugh, Wings) to all online stores. It'll be available DRM-free, as it's being released by EMI, which is great to see. More » -

Beatles Might Finally be Coming to iTunes, Maybe
At long last, could The Beatles finally be coming to iTunes? It's been "imminent" many times before, but the famous pop group (have you heard of them?) just settled a $59 million royalty dispute with EMI. That's supposedly the last roadblock between us and being able to buy The White Album on iTunes. More » -

Beatles Catalog Online: Mojo Filtered?
We've heard this so many times, we're reluctant to believe it: Again there are reports that that the Beatles will release their music catalog online. But the deal seems to be groovin' up slowly. No sooner had a tease of "an exciting new digital offering" been released from EMI Group—the label that's handled the Beatles in England since the beginning—when "a source familiar with the situation" said that for some reason the announcement tomorrow morning won't include the Beatles after all. What a letdown! The event was even supposedly going to include a special live performance. More » -

Apple Inc and Apple Corp Finally Hug it Out
Ok, so maybe there was no Super Bowl ad announcing a new iPod, but Apple Inc and The Beatles' Apple Corp do have some news to share this morning. Both companies have finally put an end to their bickering over the Apple trademark. Under the agreement, Jobs' Apple "will own all of the trademarks related to "Apple" and will license certain of those trademarks back to Apple Corp for their continued use." The question now is—how soon before the Fab Four make their way to iTunes? More » -

Rumor: Beatles Finally on iTunes by February 14?
A rumor surfaced on a Beatles fanboy site, claiming that Apple and the Fab Four have come to some sort of agreement to sell Beatles music on the iTunes store. As the story goes, The Beatles brilliant remix, Love, will reportedly be the first album to hit the iTunes site, perhaps as early as Valentine's Day. Fortune magazine fanned the flames, recently claiming that a special Beatles edition iPod might be part of the deal. More » -

Beatles-branded iPod in the Works?
First it was Bono and now it's The Beatles. Fortune magazine is reporting that Britain's EMI Group (the Beatles' record label) is close to making a deal with the house of Jobs. There's talk of bringing The Beatles' catalogue exclusively to iTunes and even using one of their songs in an iPod ad. But what's even more interesting is talk of a Beatles-branded iPod. Personally, I prefer my Beatles on vinyl, but in the long run this will only spread their tunes to a new generation of listeners. Sorry Zune fans, looks like the Fab Four have already found a new home. More » -

The Beatles Finally Heading to Online Music Stores, But Which Ones?
The Beatles are coming to an online music store near you "soon." So says EMI's head suit David Munns. Why should you care? Well, besides the fact that, you know, the Beatles pretty much invented the modern concept of a rock band, we could see an interesting battle between Apple and Microsoft. Will iTunes or the Zune Marketplace claim such hits as "Yesterday" and "Twist and Shout"? Will you be jamming out to "Day Tripper" on your iPod or Zune? More »
