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.
