Hollywood, Calif. - EMI and Capitol Records has made much of the late George Harrison's solo catalog available from digital retailers, marking the last of the former Beatles' works to be made available digitally. The Beatles' lucrative catalog still has yet to be made available from digital retailers. Initially, nine of Harrison's solo records are being made available -- including as premium, DRM-free downloads -- with the remainder to follow in 2008.

"He had begun the digital remastering of his albums but had no idea how the digital world would change the way we access and listen to music."
