There is one Beatles album on CD, Abby Road (sp?).  It's an import label
and carries a higher pricetag than most CDs.  In general, old albums seem
to be slow in coming to the CD format.  I'm waiting for a number of old
albums to come out.  It may have more to do with the fact that the
Beatles and all my other old favorites are not "mainstream" music today.
Most kids don't even know that Paul McCartney was with a band before
Wings.
