Unless I am mistaken, the biggest impediment to all your hopes are the incredibly thorny business problems involving the Beatles catalog. EMI music & the Beatles Apple corp have long standing issues to be resolved and Mr. McCartney & Ms. Ono haven't been on very friendly terms. The Beatles business manager for the last 40 years, Neil Aspinall, died a year ago and I imagine that will gum things up for a long time as well.
Beatles Remasters?
I read somewhere a while ago in an upscale audiophile magazine that on the heels of the success of the remastered Rolling Stones CD's, The Beatles catalog was going to go through the same type of revamping.
It's been a few years now and nothing. On a jazz forum I recently read that the remastering has been completed, but not released because they are waiting for the current stock of dated Beatles CD's to be sold.
Anyone have any information about the status of this project and what is holding it up?
Who would be releasing this material if it ever comes out?
I also heard the same thing about the Led Zeppelin catalog, but again no details.
