Apple Corps settle with EMI over Beatles royalties row

Apple Corps has settled its legal dispute with EMI which saw Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr and the widows of John Lennon and George Harrison claiming that the record company owed them £30m in missing royalties from album sales. There's no indication as to how much cash the settlement involved, however, an EMI spokeswoman telling reporters: "I can confirm that we have reached a mutually acceptable settlement and that we are not going to say anything more than that".
