Fox News' Roger Friedman reported today that Neil Aspinall, the head of Apple Corps Ltd, told him over the weekend that the Beatles' catalog will be available at online stores soon.

"'All 13 core albums, the ones originally released on CD in 1987, have been remastered,' Aspinall told me. "At some point they will all be released, probably at the same time.'

But the film “Let It Be” remains in DVD purgatory, Aspinall says. The reason? 'The film was so controversial when it first came out. When we got halfway through restoring it, we looked at the outtakes and realized: This stuff is still controversial. It raised a lot of old issues.

... And those 13 remastered albums? They will not include “Hey Jude,” a 1969 compilation album that Americans of a certain age fondly recall and keep in their collections on vinyl only.'"
