Apparently the answer is YES!
Thanks to the eagle-eye of one long-time reader of the blog, it appears that Beginnings - the original Beginnings - has been released to Apple Music in an apparently remastered form (meaning it is not a needledrop from a vinyl source). Apple does have particular standards regarding the source and quality of the media submitted for streaming, so it's not surprising that this represents a better-quality version.
It also appears Apple Music is the only platform on which this release is available.
This is very strange and yet also fully amazing. I don't have any inkling of the meaning of this either timing-wise or regarding the choice of this particular album, save that it's something which, accidental or intentional, is wholly deserved for loyal fans.
