WSJ Says It’s The Beatles

Ethan Smith, reporting for the WSJ:

Apple Inc. is preparing to announce that its iTunes Store will soon start carrying music by the Beatles, according to people familiar with the situation, a move that would fill in a glaring gap in the collection of the world’s largest music retailer.

Update: My inbox is filling up with emails along the lines of, “Sure, The Beatles are great, maybe even the best, but they’re still just one group. Why would Apple make such a big deal out of this?” Mike Davidson explains.
