Beatles star Paul McCartney has launched iTunes album apps

It may all be a very distant memory for many of us now but once upon a time, Apple and the Beatles didn’t see eye to eye, and went through a number of court battles over a great many years in order to settle the trademark dispute. Since then it has all simmered down and formed into a beautiful musical relationship, which, lets be honest, should have been about anyway.

In 2007, Apple and the Beatles settled their dispute with a reported $500,000 settlement payment and then in 2010 opened up its massive library of music to the public to be available in iTunes.

The late Steve Jobs, at the time, said: ‘We love the Beatles, and it has been painful being at odds with them over these trademarks. It feels great to resolve this in a positive manner, and in a way that should remove the potential of further disagreements in the future.’

With all of this history, Paul McCartney, the lead singer of the Beatles is launching 5 apps re-releasing his popular albums  Band on the Run, McCartney, McCartney II, RAM and Wings over America. Each app is priced at $7.99 and said to feature some premium content and remastered works, archival video footage, interviews, photos and more.
