Don't Worry Kyoko, Lennon Library Goes Digital

Imagine John Lennon's solo catalog is available at the iTunes Store beginning today.
For the first 30 days, exclusive video content will be included with the albums "John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band," "Sometime in New York City," "Walls and Bridges," "Milk and Honey" and the collections "Anthology" and "Working Class Hero."
Lennon becomes the second Beatle to have his solo work made available in the digital universe. Ringo Starr's work is slated for an Aug. 28 delivery and George Harrison's solo albums are still in limbo.
As with all posthumous Lennon efforts, his widow Yoko Ono is quite confident that he would have wanted his music used this way. "John would have loved the fact that his music will now be available in a format suited to a new generation of listeners."
Tracks will be available in iTunes Plus, Apple's higher-fidelity offering, for $1.29 per song.
Early in the day, his live recording of "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds" and "Imagine" were the top sellers.
