The Beatles Are on iTunes
Yes, the Beatles are on iTunes – you’ve just got to know where to find them…
Obviously no official Beatles album is on iTunes as of this writing and Apple is losing money every day by not putting them on iTunes because hard-core Beatle fans are just buying the CDs in the stores… but, if you know where to look for the Beatles, you’ll find that they’re scattered all over iTunes. Here is a list of the best places to look for the Beatles on iTunes:
In Songs by Other Bands The Rolling Stones. Sometimes Lennon/McCartney would write songs and give them to other bands; such is the case with the song “I Wanna Be Your Man” which the Rolling Stones recorded. Also, Lennon and McCartney sing backing vocals on “Sing This All Together.” Badfinger. Badfinger was considered to be something of a “Beatles Jr.” at the time, and Paul McCartney wrote a song for them: “Come and Get It.” Eric Clapton. George Harrison (and possibly Ringo Starr) co-wrote “Badge” with Eric Clapton.
On Weird Little Unofficial Albums Actually, there’s only one weird little unofficial album, but it’s also the only album on iTunes to actually credit the artist as “The Beatles” or in some cases “The Beatles & Tony Sheridan.” The album is called In the Beginning and it features some songs they recorded in the early ’60s while they served as the backing band for Tony Sheridan. A couple of the songs from the album do appear on an official album; “Ain’t She Sweet,” “Cry For A Shadow,” and “My Bonnie” all appear on Anthology 1.
In Live Albums from Their Solo Careers John Lennon: He played “Come Together” on Live in New York and “Yer Blues” on Live Peace in Toronto, 1969. Paul McCartney has released some of the best live albums ever. I recommend Back in the U. S. George Harrison released two live albums – The Concert for Bangla Desh (which is, for some reason, not on iTunes) and Live in Japan on which he played “Here Comes the Sun,” “Taxman,” and “Something” among others. Ringo Starr released more live albums than any other Beatle- a whopping ten (most of them with his All-Starr band). Several times, he has played some of his most popular songs: “With a Little Help from my Friends,” “Yellow Submarine,” and “I Wanna Be Your Man.”
