Got a Good Reason

File under NOT SURPRISING:

Apple Corps Ltd. and EMI Music are pleased to announce that The Beatles’ original 1973 compilations, 1962-1966 (‘Red’) and 1967-1970 (‘Blue’) have been digitally remastered for worldwide CD release on October 18 (October 19 in North America). Both 2CD packages include expanded booklets with original liner notes, newly written essays by Bill Flanagan, and rare photos.

So there you go. Completists are already wetting themselves at the opportunity to shell out more bucks to Apple Corps and EMI. No word on digital versions, but don't hold your breath.
