Hobbayne Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 In an attempt to squeeze more cash out of their fans, The Beatles have a new release featuring er.., the same old stuff again! http://wogew.blogspot.co.uk/2015/09/beatles-1-mystery-solved.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number6 Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 I suppose the estates of John Lennon and George Harrison will just agree it as a formality but it must in someway be instigated by Paul and Ringo.....and Paul certainly isn't skint.

chris_b Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 . . . . neither is Ringo. I would imagine it's Apple, whoever puts their music and videos out and their publisher, who I believe is Sony, who made a business decision to tidy up all the old video tape and put them out as a collectors package. I'd be very surprised if Paul or Ringo would have any input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sprocketflup Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Doesn't Michael Jackson own the rights to the Beatles back catalogue? Oh, wait...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Apple Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 I heard Ringo is selling his old drum kit. Might leave him a bit short if he starts looking for auditions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmo Valdemar Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 I think it's justifiable - you can't get the DVD/Blu-Ray content anywhere else other than bootlegs, and the remastered quality will be far higher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_b Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 (edited) MJ used to own the Beatles songs, but sold them on a long time ago, I believe to Sony, to try to pay off some of his massive debts.

Hobbayne Posted September 16, 2015 Author Share Posted September 16, 2015 I think a better idea would be to release the Let it Be movie on DVD/Blu-ray. That be worth it for the rooftop concert alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wateroftyne Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 No harm getting the stuff into the best possible shape and selling it to people who want to buy it. (I won't be, btw). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevB Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 (edited) Don't want it? Don't buy it. Problem solved. As far as rights to the back catalog, well Macca was doing something a couple of years ago but not sure what the current state is; [url="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2394325/Sir-Paul-McCartney-set-win-rights-Beatles-catalogue.html"]http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2394325/Sir-Paul-McCartney-set-win-rights-Beatles-catalogue.html[/url] Edited September 16, 2015 by KevB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
