Here we go again; Paul McCartney’s saying that it may be a while before we finally see Beatles tracks on iTunes because negotiations with EMI are once again stuck in the mud.

Apple’s attempt to get the Beatles’ back catalogue un iTunes have not been a walk in the park, but a rather bumpy ride as negotiations with the band’s label ‘move on.’

McCartney, while launching his side project The Fireman’s new Electric Arguments album on Monday said that an agreement between EMI and the Beatles is yet to be reached.

"That is constantly being talked of – we'd like to do it," he said. "What happens is, when something's as big as the Beatles, it's heavy negotiations." He added that We are very for it; we've been pushing it. But there are a couple of sticking points, I understand. So the last word I got back was that it had stalled; the whole process. [EMI executives] want something we're not prepared to give them.”

The two sides find themselves unable to reach an agreement to release the Beatles’ full discography on iTunes and other related download services.

McCartney himself left the EMI label back in June 2007 to release his solo album called Memory Almost Full on Starbucks’ Hear Music label.

Paul also made a jab at big music industry players in the same announcement:

"I think the majors at the moment, I'm not dissing them, but I don't think they really know what's going on," he said. "With the download culture, they are floundering a little bit."
