“Can’t buy me love, love
Can’t buy me love

I’ll buy you a diamond ring my friend
If it makes you feel all right
I’ll get you anything my friend
If it makes you feel all right
‘Cause I don’t care too much for money
For money can’t buy me love ”

….yeah right ;-)…

PS thanks for the link to the applecorps web page. when i searched a few months back i was not able to fin it. I suspect that page is only up because of the upcoming court battle.;-^

I’ve done a little Googling and found this, which is Apple Corps’ home page. But save for that rather beautiful and (certainly in Britain; I don’t know about overseas) quite famous green apple, it offers little to the intrigued.

What is ominous is that you really have to want to find them to get any information. A Goole search for “Apple Corp” gives you Apple Computer; you must search for “Apple Corps” to get the desired result. A search for “Apple Records” is reasonably productive though, giving this unofficial discography and this Wikipedia entry.

I think your suggestion that no-one under thirty knows about Apple Records is a little extreme, but it certainly seems that Apple Computer has by a long way the greater mindshare. It will be interesting to see what an English court makes of iTMS and so on, but I think that the current obscurity that Apple Records has brought about by itself (i.e. through not having a decent web site, not releasing much/any new material, etc.) would give a court at least some pause for thought before ruling in their favour.

Time will tell.
