George Harrison solo works now on iTunes

by Mike Schramm Oct 9th 2007 at 1:00PM

The Beatles are now on iTunes-- kind of. George Harrison has become the last solo Beatle to be added to the iTMS, as iTunes now carries all of his solo work (including "Got My Mind Set on You"-- enjoy having that in your head for the rest of the day). That means that all the Beatles have now had their solo work added to the online store. There's John, Paul, now George, and that other guy. If you want them all, it's gonna take money, a whole lot of precious money. It's gonna take plenty of money, to do it right child. Stuck in your head yet?

And yet we still wait (well, most of us do) for the Beatles as a whole to appear on iTunes for purchase. It's become a kind of mythical event, hasn't it? Someday, the heavens will break open, earthquakes will rend the ground under our feet, and the world will end around us, but hopefully not before we can buy the White Album at the ITunes store.

Thanks, Eric!

The studio version of "Here Comes the Sun" was a Beatles song, so that's why it's not available (yet!)

The pricing on All Things Must Pass at $9.99 is incredible! This thing was three LPs and the iTunes version comes with a video and extra tracks.

The iTunes Plus pricing really incentivises you to purchase the whole album if you like four or five tracks. I ended up purchasing the full albums of All Things Must Pass and Cloud Nine, plus some additional tracks.

Strange, though, that Harrison's Best of Dark Horse compilation wasn't available. Nonetheless, I'm really happy to see Harrison's stuff on iTunes.

The only problem with all this is that the one song of his that I've been waiting for, the STUDIO VERSION of "Here Comes the Sun", seems to be missing. They have a live version from a concert in Tokyo, but I really don't want that.

I wonder if this is deliberate.

I just recently picked up the 1 album, and I am enjoying it on my iPod. I am still old fashioned and buy CDs instead of albums on iTunes. I do buy single songs, but if I want the whole album, I pick it up at the store.

I think it's funny that the style of dress on that album cover was ever cool.

Even more so, most of the Beatles fans probably already have alot of the CDs or buy the CDs from the used CD store for less.

I think it was Jobs and some of the estates of some of the Beatles that said that it was unlikely to happen until some time in 2008.

William - l do see you logic, however, I do not get waiting YEARS or possibly FOREVER for music that you like when it is available in many other places. Get it?
