Everything McCartney Coming to iTunes

Former Beatle Paul McCartney’s full catalog of solo albums will be gracing the digital shelves of Apple’s iTunes Store some time in May. Apple is kicking off the addition by offering his latest album, Memory Almost Full, for pre-order starting on Tuesday. In addition to the digital album, pre-order customers in the U.S. will also receive the Dance Tonight music video when the album is available, and the single Ever Present Past after placing their order. Outside of the U.S., customers will receive an acoustic version of the single Dance Tonight.


McCartney joins iTunes

A deluxe version of the album that includes three additional tracks, a bonus video, a digital booklet, and an audio commentary track will be available for US$14.99. The standard version includes 13 tracks and a digital booklet for $9.99. Both are expected to be available on June 5.

The iTunes Store is currently listing the individual tracks as priced at $0.99, which means they are encoded at Apple’s standard 128-bit rate and include FairPlay copy protection. But it is possible that when Memory Almost Full is available in June the iTunes Store may also higher quality 256-bit rate versions without copy protection.

Releasing all 25 McCartney solo albums as well as offering the new album for pre-order may very well be the next step in bringing the Beatles music library to the iTunes Store. Apple Corps, the Beatles management company, has stated that the library will eventually be available online, but hasn’t committed to a date yet.
