Pop links: Still no Beatles on iTunes, White Album at 40, Dr. Who at 45, more Sarah Jane, Wally Wood and more

Plans to post the Beatles catalog on iTunes have hit a snag, says Paul McCartney. The problems seem to be between the band and its label, EMI, not the Fabs and Apple.

Sir Paul explained that EMI couldn't agree with The Beatles on the terms that should be set for iTunes and other download services. He was oblique about the exact points of contention: "They [EMI] want something we're not prepared to give them. Hey, sounds like the music business." For its part, an EMI rep told BillboardBiz that they have been "working very hard" on a deal that would bring The Beatles' tracks to iTunes to no avail. The rep added, "but we really hope that everyone can make progress soon."

Speaking of the Beatles: Here's an NPR program documenting the band's "white album," released 40 years ago this week.
