p2pnet - rss feed: McCartney’s ‘Memory’ online
p2pnet.net news:- Paul McCartney says he’s pretty excited. His new album, “Memory Almost Full,” will be his first solo release for downloads and streaming.
Says Reuters, “McCartney also has told Billboard that a deal to finally make the Beatles catalog available for sale online is virtually settled.
“I don’t want to pre-empt anything, but we’re well on the way to something happening there, which is very exciting,” it has him saying.
However, BusinessJournal has no such scruples and says McCartney’s new release will be available on Apple’s iTunes.
Needless to say, it’s already available on the P2P networks, and it’s currently being sold on and was on Amazon at a marked down price of $12.99 (from $18.98).
Memory Almost Full is also slated for release on June 5 on Starbucks’ new Hear Music label.
“As part of its digital marketing strategy, Starbucks plans to give the set prime positioning in its Hear Music area in the Apple iTunes Store. The digital distribution deal for McCartney is believed to pertain solely to the new album and not back catalog,” says Reuters.
Expect to soon see a Paul McCartney iPod.
