It is hard to contain one’s excitment, no?

Now the path has been cleared - we can buy all those Beatles tracks we uploaded from the CDs all over agin?

Whooah!

But this isn’t about “us” this is for future geenrations (presumably too thick to upload the tracks from CD).

Here’s the deal, slowly but surely the widowed and widower custodians of The Fab legacy are turning it into a death dealing, corpse rehashing catastrophe.

Anyone with half a heart who lived through or was born in the 60s lived this Band’s life, as such I feel eligible to voice my shareholder opinion.

Once they mapped out  new possibilities in the mind and in the universe.

That was the fantasy anyway.

Now what, since the miracle that was Free As A Bird, have we got?

A group of  accountant honouring  technocrats - spinning out hollow product, all tweetered and knob twiddled with crud, like Love and Let It be Naked and the Yellow Submarine SONGtrack (so different from the soundtrack that very few bought it - same with the others).

It is not as if The Fabs archive isn’t already heaving with ESSENTIAL GOD GIVEN INSPIRATIONAL OFFICIALLY UNRELEASED GOLD like the Esher Sessions, various live albums and outtakes of potent  import.

Its not as if they werent one cutting edge, revolutionary, life changing.

What could they do now to equal it all?

Simply realistically? Release their entire official catalogue forever in perpetuity for free on the internet.

When the content giver tells the industry to go hang - a better day will have come, no question.

It is hardly as if The Fabs aint made their pile, issit?

Or set up a Beatles charity - distribute the goods in the sure knowledge that the love you make is equal to the love you take and love is all you need. 

Etc

Ok - its as likely to happen as a Lennon comeback and they have already given more to charidee than I will earn in several lifetimes, probably.

Well then - at least get someone in who knows what way to treat the catalogue isnt by getting in a deaf in one ear 80 year old Knight of the realm (and son) in to repaint the pop world’s eqiuivalent to the  Mona Lisa, Guernica and the Garden Of Earthly delights combined….

I know THAT is  as likely to happen as a Harrison comeback.
