Pop Culture Roundup April 13, 2006

NPR has a story about cult pin-up Bettie Page.

The entire Beatles catalog is being remastered (about time), Billboard reports. And that's part of the reason Fabs tunes haven't been offered yet for digital download.

Neil Aspinall, a former Beatles road manager and managing director of Apple Corps, was a witness in the company's trademark lawsuit against Apple Computer. He said that the company was digitally remastering the entire Beatles catalog, which would pave the way for selling the songs online.

"I think it would be wrong to offer downloads of the old masters when I am making new masters," he said in a written statement submitted to the High Court in London earlier this month.

"It would be better to wait and try to do them both simultaneously so that you then get the publicity of the new masters and the downloading, rather than just doing it ad hoc."
