What came and what's still to come in 2011 (part 1)

Half this year has passed and we’ve witnessed several Beatle announcements, rumors and releases. We’re still hoping for bigger news on the second part of the year, but until we have confirmed news, here is a recount of the most important news so far and what we’re expecting for the rest of the year.

The Beatles

-What came: January-June

·         Probably the biggest news was the release of the anthologies on iTunes. This included a new iTunes exclusive compilation called “Anthology Highlights”

·         The other big news was the fifth anniversary of Love. This celebration was an opportunity for The Beatles family to reunite once more.

-What’s still to come: July-December

·         We might be expecting a physical album release for the Anthology Remasters in time for the Christmas market. Considering the Stereo and Mono Remasters of 2009, the Beatles Rockband of 2009 and the Red and Blue album remasters of 2010, this seems a logical next step.

·         Other options could be the addition of the Live at the BBC, Yellow Submarine Songtrack or Let It  Be...Naked albums to the iTunes catalog or the release of The Beatles Anthology or The Beatles’ movies on Blu-Ray
