Come And Get It: The Best of Apple Records

First commercial multi-artist compilation in Apple's history
set for release on October 25th 2010

'The Radha Krishna Temple' Added to Historic Release of
Original Apple Albums from 1968 to 1973 - Remastered CDs and
Apple's First Digital Downloads Due October 25th 2010

CD Bonus Tracks and Digital Download Extras Now Announced

The dazzling range of music originally issued by Apple Records between
1968 and 1973, which is now the subject of an unprecedented multi-album
worldwide campaign starting October 25th - including remastered
CDs (with bonus material revealed for the first time below) and
Apple's first digital downloads - will now be augmented by
two additional titles: 'Come and Get It: The Best Of Apple
Records,' the first commercially issued multi-artist compilation
in the label's history; and 'The Radha Krishna
Temple,' the self-titled album of devotional music produced by
George Harrison.

'Come and Get It: The Best Of Apple Records,' a 21 track
compilation of singles, ranging from the folk-rooted tunes of Mary
Hopkin and James Taylor, and the energetic rock of Badfinger (also The
Iveys) and Jackie Lomax, to the deep soul of Doris Troy and Billy
Preston, will also be released in the physical and digital marketplace
on October 25th 2010.

'Come and Get It' displays Apple's vibrant years of
musical experimentation in full flower, from bona fide hit singles to
the cult classics of the catalogue, as represented by brass band The
Black Dyke Mills Band, Cajun collective The Sundown Playboys, and more.
Hot Chocolate (as 'The Hot Chocolate Band') makes an
appearance, as does Ronnie Spector, Bill Elliot & The Elastic Oz Band,
Chris Hodge, Brute Force, and others.

Launched by The Beatles in 1968, Apple served as the new outlet for
their own recordings as well as the music of an eclectic roster of
artists who were all personally brought to the label by The Beatles
(individually and/or collectively). In the revolutionary spirit of the
times, Apple's utopian artist-orientated mission celebrated
diversity in a friendly creative environment. The result was a rainbow
spectrum of music, from folk, rock and soul to The Modern Jazz Quartet
and the work of contemporary British classical composer John Tavener.

As Apple Corps Ltd. and EMI Music prepare for the upcoming 17 album CD
and digital download release, it is a reminder that the introduction of
an artist on The Beatles' record label was avidly followed by fans
across the universe - then and now. Each of the albums has been
digitally remastered at EMI's Abbey Road Studios in London by the
same dedicated team of engineers behind The Beatles' recent
remastered catalogue releases of 2009.
