Sir Paul McCartney has sanctioned the release of the Beatles' back catalogue on iTunes in a deal that is expected to bring a £200million payday.

The online release, which will be the internet music service's most lucrative download, will cushion Sir Paul from the effects of his multi-million pound divorce from Heather Mills.

The deal has been much delayed. But industry insiders say that by the end of the year fans using iTunes will be able to buy songs from albums such as Help! and Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.
