Yoko Ono grants iTunes access to Lennon catalog :: Music News :: Articles

Time for someone to take the well-known John and Yoko “Think Different” ad and photoshop a pair of iPods in place of the flowers. While the Beatles catalogue and Apple Inc still don’t live in peace, sixteen of Lennon’s EMI solo albums are now available in the iTunes music store. It’s the third batch of Beatle-member music made downloadable through the medium, following Paul McCartney’s in May and Ringo Starr’s in June. According to the BBC, George Harrison’s widow “recently said an agreement to put the band’s recordings online (is) ‘imminent.’”

For a 30-day period, “exclusive video content” is included with the albums John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band, Sometime in New York City, Walls and Bridges, Milk and Honey and collections Anthology and Working Class Hero. Dang, sounds like enough music and film clips to make your own mini rock-doc.

“John would have loved the fact that his music will now be available in a format suited to a new generation of listeners,” Yoko Ono has stated.
