Apple doesn't make real coin on iTunes sales anyway, do they? i doubt Apple particularly cares how many they sell.

ya it's more about steege

google street jew (s1ocki), Tuesday, 16 November 2010 15:35 (thirteen years ago) link

they make 30% on normal sales, but i doubt they're getting that much from the beatles

caek, Tuesday, 16 November 2010 15:39 (thirteen years ago) link

hell they're probably paying the beatles on each sale. this is the equivalent of being first on the moon

dayo, Tuesday, 16 November 2010 15:43 (thirteen years ago) link

you are wrong, this is an epic fail because people already have the beatles on vinyl and the CD rereleases in 2009 have exhausted demand among those key markets: music geeks and people who don't know what itunes is.

You guys are really underestimating the willingness of people to buy this stuff all over again.

im not underestimating it, im just wondering why would they if they already have it.

can't believe all the news websites running this on the front page right now. don't they know it's not a big deal?

caek, Tuesday, 16 November 2010 15:53 (thirteen years ago) link

its like the beatles coming to america for the first time all over again.

what I meant that this is purely a dick waving contest aimed at amazon mp3 and emusic et al, apple doesn't really care if they make any money on this

dayo, Tuesday, 16 November 2010 15:55 (thirteen years ago) link

dayo otm

Also, chrisv, I'm sure quite a few people that had the vinyl rebought it when the first Beatles discs came out in the 80s, then again last year.

chrisv is right. steve jobs will be lucky to sell 20 beatles box sets this holiday season and apple pr are probably wishing they'd have gone bigger on twitter integration instead of this rubbish.

caek, Tuesday, 16 November 2010 15:59 (thirteen years ago) link

Okay, now you're just trollin'.

"I am a fairly respected poster." (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Tuesday, 16 November 2010 16:01 (thirteen years ago) link

no way.

key markets: music geeks and people who don't know what itunes is.

OTM. Plus all their outtakes and stuff. Hell, if they had announced the availability of their catalog + their catalog's worth of new outtakes, I'd actually consider it.

Telephoneface (Adam Bruneau), Tuesday, 16 November 2010 16:07 (thirteen years ago) link

I've been downloading Beatles MP3s for over 10 years now, hell my first website ever was a Beatles MP3 bootleg site in 1997. Suck it, Apple.

Telephoneface (Adam Bruneau), Tuesday, 16 November 2010 16:08 (thirteen years ago) link

they should have called it "Beatles HD"

progressive cuts (Tracer Hand), Tuesday, 16 November 2010 16:10 (thirteen years ago) link

All I really want is, like, a 10-disc Blu-Ray set of every moment of footage recorded for the whole Let It Be project, plus accompanying CDs. Is that too much to ask?

Tub Girl Time Machine (Phil D.), Tuesday, 16 November 2010 16:11 (thirteen years ago) link

I want all their stoned-out late night jam sessions from 1967/68 edited down and remixed by Eye from the Boredoms.

How much do Apple PR (both of them) fucking hate Prince William right now?

"I am particularly glad to no longer be asked when the Beatles are coming to iTunes", said Ringo Starr.

Would love to see the sales figures for this week and next week's pop charts.

no mono apparantly. hadn't even thought of that tbh.

piscesx, Tuesday, 16 November 2010 17:37 (thirteen years ago) link

What's the bitrate on these? (I don't use iTunes) £125 is basically the same price as the CD stereo box set.

Oh god. Apple Corps really is the George Lucas of music.

Supposedly they were working on a DVD release a few years ago (before Neil Aspinall died), but looking at the footage, McCartney's reaction was basically, "Boy, I was a dick. OK, shut it down."

Mm i've always imagined that might be the case. Where did you read about it?

Here: http://www.express.co.uk/posts/view/54635/Macca-and-Ringo-say-just-Let-It-Be

Can't remember where I read about McCartney's take on/takedown of it, though.

mm i wouldn't want it out i guess if i were him. but then i wouldn't have wanted Magical Mystery Tour out either.

piscesx, Tuesday, 16 November 2010 22:26 (thirteen years ago) link

Much bigger news, IMHO
