I not sure if they will make alot of money, If i remember right the copyright for the Beatles earliest songs are about to expire, i am wonder if EMI is doing this to squeeze any money out of these song?

The copyright on the original vinyl performances is going to expire, hence the rash of remastering. New works = fresh copyright.

Jesus. I had never realized that.

EMI probably hopes they do. That company's been crapping itself, losing artists, etc. I mean, they lost Queen recently.
