'Beatles For Sale'

Hallelujah...Hallelujah...

I admit, these lyrics are from a different artist altogether; even so, the words mimic my reaction to the news that finally the Beatles are on iTunes!  Ever since owning my first iPod and iTunes library, I wanted to download Beatles albums.  I was rather confused and frustrated when I couldn’t find them – then realised it was the complexities of record labels that held the music back.

Not completely believing the reports of the Wall Street Journal, I opened my own iTunes account.  The sight that greeted my eyes was fantastic, a huge ‘The Beatles’ sign with all the available albums.  Thirteen studio albums, selling at £10.99, as well as a couple of double albums priced at £17.99; this previously desired back catalogue is now appearing rather expensive at £196.84.

Only £125 for the Beatles box set.  Hmm.  I better start saving.
