John Lennon's solo catalog is now available on iTunes. Apple, the company behind iTunes, made the announcement in a statement on its website.
"John would have loved the fact that his music will now be available in a format suited to a new generation of listeners," said Yoko Ono.
"John Lennon is one of the greatest artists of our time," said Steve Jobs, Apple's CEO. "We're thrilled to have his solo catalog available on the iTunes Store for the first time."
As part of EMI Music's digital catalog, the John Lennon solo works will be available in iTunes Plus, offering DRM-free music tracks with high quality 256 kbps AAC encoding for audio quality virtually indistinguishable from the original recordings-for just $1.29 per song.
The iTunes Store features the world's largest catalog with over five million songs, 550 television shows and over 500 movies. The iTunes Store has sold over three billion songs, 50 million TV shows and over two million movies, making it the world's most popular online music, TV and movie store.
SlipperyBrick says Lennon is the second Beatles artist to allow iTunes to sell their solo albums. Paul McCartney was the first. CMJ says Ringo Starr is involved with iTunes as well.
