    Could be tricky. George Harrison, in 1996, while more or less at the helm of Apple, was sufficiently aggrieved at press reaction to 'Free as a Bird' and especially 'Real Love' (which as UK listeners will remember was controversially "banned" from airplay on Radio 1 as part of a shake-up in its auidence-orientation) to issue a statement saying that never again would The Beatles issue or reissue a single.

    As we already know, George's project ideas and/or vetos since that period have determined much of the new Apple projects. I'm doubtful that such a strong policy statement, which must have been agreed at the time, could easily be overturned, although I'd hope it can.

    Which I must add, leads me to speculate that part of the mysterious and complex Calderstone business partnership might contain the means to circumvent some Aspinall-period 'statutes'

    Well, they certainly did rerelease a few for Record Store Day, and also the anniversary foul ups for "Love Me Do"

    I would love The U.S. Beatles remastered singles and and EPs to be released on CD just like the U.S. albums were done.

    I wouldn't say the Capitol LPs were give a "proper" re-release this year, since many of the unique US mixes were omitted in favor of the 2009 remasters.

    Yes. It is true to say that none of the recent outputs from the Calderstone partnership have been 'reissues' in the technical or legal sense.
    The Love Me Do single, the Record Store Day box, even the forthcoming vinyl '1' and 'Love' all featured remastered tracks issued for the first time on vinyl and the US Albums were also all fresh mechanical copyrights with fresh catalogue numbers despite any artwork facsimiles etc.

    I can definitely foresee new Beatles singles when the agenda moves on to remixed material as per Yellow Submarine Songtrack.
    Have never seen a confirmation as such but it's highly likely that be given the 'from multitrack' reworkings that first featured on the Anthology DVD, and most recently on Rock Band.
