Gary Pig once told me that Apple Records has a 50 year business plan for 
ongoing Beatles projects which began in earnest starting with the 
Anthologies.

We've now seen anniversary re-issues of The White Album, Yellow Submarine 
and Let It Be (the last two, albeit in altered states). It makes sense that 
next up for official UK re-masters would be Abbey Road -- to close the final 
chapter of the band's output. It seems logical that they'd either start at 
the beginning and work their way up to Sgt. Pepper (2007 will be the 40th 
for that one).

Considering that the Beatles official releases were all done in 1987 through 
1989 (during the heinous EQ'd master tape glut prevelent with all the majors 
at that time), there's definitely a need to remaster the entire original UK 
catalogue and bring the sound up to Beach Boys re-issue quality.

I've done it with quite a few of my artist's releases and the fans are quite 
grateful for it. With The Beatles fans doubley so....
