George Harrison Catalog Comes to iTunes, R&R Hall of Fame Offers “Help!” Exhibit

10/10/07, 11:01 am EST


Yesterday, as we predicted back in August, George Harrison’s solo discography joined his fellow Fab Four bandmates in MP3 form on Apple’s digital music service. To make the Harrison acquisition more enticing, Apple has added on exclusive tracks when you buy some of his albums. For instance, Harrison’s eponymous 1979 album includes a demo version of “Blow Away,” and 1981’s Somewhere in England includes the previously discarded “Flying Hour.” All that’s left now for Steve Jobs’ company is to finally secure the actual Beatles catalog, which has long been rumored to be happening.

Adding to yesterday’s Beatlemania, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland announced that they would be opening an exhibit on November 16th to commemorate the Beatles’ 1965 film Help!, which will be reissued on DVD October 29th. The exhibit will include Harrison’s shooting script, original movie premiere tickets, plus never-before-seen set photographs and other artifacts.

This is good, but just like Paul McCartney’s catalog and digital albums you get one bonus cut for each album like Somewhere in England has Flying Hour that is not on the remaster or Cloud 9 with an extended version of “Got My Mind Set on You” but I agree with many George fans that Extra Texture and Dark Horse and Best of Dark Horse should be on his catalogue though there are reports of DH and ET updated sometime in 2008 and no Bangla-desh as well :(

I assume that they didn’t put up [i]Dark Horse[/i] and [i]EXTRA TEXTURE-Read All About It[/i] because the two are going to be remastered and reissued…I hope…

Ah, the master prognosticators at Rolling Stone “predicted” that (much of) Harrison’s back catalogue would soon join that of John, Paul and Ringo’s on iTunes way, all the way way back 1 1/2 months ago! Can you lay some stock tips on us next, oh wise sages?
