Paul McCartney wants to stop the madness of the broken negotiations between Apple, Inc. and Apple Corps over the licensing of the Beatles catalog to iTunes and possibly other digital download services.
In the Liverpool Echo, McCartney is quoted as saying, "It is out of our hands, really. It is a business thing and there is some gridlock somewhere. It is the usual thing. When it is a Beatles deal, it is a big deal. It is not like we are just some new act.
“When you are talking about iTunes, obviously we have got to get a great deal. I think we are right, because we are The Beatles!
“It is being held up, but I definitely hope it comes through because it is about time it happened. We have been goofing around enough, so if you are reading this, whoever is holding it up, stop it!”
I have mixed feelings about this. In my world, the Beatles catalog would only be available on vinyl. But, we know that isn't going to happen. So I think to get the Beatles music available on iTunes will open up a whole new avenue for the legendary group. It will give them a chance to have their music heard by a new generation and then they can learn how much influence that Beatles music has had over the years.
