But I have to ask.....was this Yoko's doing? Because just a few artists were holdouts and Lennon was one of them. My 17 yr old daughter is a diehard Lennon and Beatles fan. More than I was even (and I was, but I was only 8 when I declared Paul my favorite Beatle, she still asks me why John wasn't my fave....LOL!).

Thanks for reminder Steph. She owns almost all of his music though by now - the legal way of course. You can spend incredibly little amounts, buying used CD's.

Beatle John Lennon Graces iTunes

Legendary Beatle, John Lennon, will reportedly now grace Apple Computer's iTunes digital music store.

Late John Lennon's solo catalog comprising 16 albums will be available on iTunes. While many of Lennon's solo recordings are commercially available on other sites, this is the very first time they are being made available on iTunes.


The tracks are being offered DRM-free as part of EMI Music's digital catalog, along with high quality 256 kbps AAC encoding.

While the DRM-free albums are priced at $1.29 per song, the regular versions are available alongside, priced at the usual 99 cents each.

The Lennon albums available on iTunes include Lennon Legend and Acoustic that were previously not available anywhere for download.

In a statement issued by Apple, Lennon's widow, Yoko Ono, expressed joy saying John would have loved the fact that his music will now be available in a format suited to a new generation of listeners.

Along with the audio albums, iTunes is also offering exclusive video content, including John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band, Sometime in New York City, Walls and Bridges, Milk and Honey, The Collections Anthology, and Working Class Hero for a limited 30-day period.

I hope they come out with different colored Videos. I've been wanting a video instead of a nano, but was thinking once I bought it they would come out with new colors and I'd be bummed.

George Harrison's albums, from All Things Must Pass to Brainwashed, are now in the iTunes Store. That means the solo work of all four Beatles is now covered. From what I've read, the Beatles catalog is definitely on its way, but may or may not make it into iTunes before the end of the year.
