And to add to photon, Michael Jackson supposedly owns 50% (Northern Songs) of publishing rights to Beatles catalog. Seems to me, none of the entities are willing to work together to get remastered material out there. This is one of the biggest travesties in music, 40+ years out and we have to accept poor quality sonics!
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.
