I think Apple isn't quite keen because it would cater only to audiophiles which, really is just a minority.
Considering the Beatles catalogue, it would take a lot of $$ to remaster them. I think Apple isn't quite keen because it would cater only to audiophiles which, really is just a minority.
I think if the Beatles remaster all their albums is going to be a huge success. Take AC/DC for example, their new remastered albums are selling pretty well and they include awesome booklets full of pics and notes.
I'm with you guys Ok "1" is a success. The problem is, the circa 1987 technology cd's are selling very well. Just look at where the Beatles albums are ranked on Amazon. The majority of them are in the Top 200, so there is no economic incentive to remaster. Remastering after all costs money, and they would have to revamp the packaging to bring it up to 21st Century standardsl and that would cost money too. They could perhaps sell a few more CD
How long do we have to wait?
I'm very happy with the Purple Chick collection at the moment. Thanks again Paul.
