Beatles reunited on iTunes

Apple Inc.’s iTunes began selling nine albums from the late George Harrison, the last of the four Beatles to have his solo work added to the online music store.
The albums, including “All Things Must Pass,” went on sale Tuesday, Apple said.
This year, the Cupertino, Calif.-based company added solo music from former Beatles Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr and the late John Lennon.
ITunes, the most popular online music store, still lacks songs from the Beatles as a group. McCartney told Billboard Magazine in May that a decision to sell the band’s music on iTunes was “virtually settled.”
Apple resolved a legal dispute with the Beatles in February over rights to use the “Apple” name and logos. Apple Corps Ltd., formed by the Beatles in the late 1960s, had argued that it owned the exclusive right to use the Apple logo in connection with music. Apple Corps is owned by Harrison’s estate, along with McCartney, Starr and Lennon’s widow, Yoko Ono.
Harrison, whose songs include “My Sweet Lord” and “Got My Mind Set on You,” died in 2001.
