Beatles downloads hopes with Macca deal
Sir Paul McCartney's solo efforts will soon be available for download, raising Beatles fans' hopes that the Fab Four's music will soon follow.
EMI subsidiary Parlophone will release four decades of Sir Paul's songs while it continues to negotiate a Beatles download deal.
Industry experts predict that the move could see the Beatles taking every slot in the Top Ten as music fans rush to buy many of the classic tunes.
The McCartney deal spans his Wings output, including 1974 classic Band On The Run, and runs up to his last studio album, Chaos And Creation In The Backyard.
Tony Wadsworth, chairman of EMI Music UK, said: "Paul McCartney's post-Beatles catalogue, spanning four decades, is one of the greatest treasures of popular music.
"EMI is proud to be introducing Paul's music to the digital marketplace."
