                Beatles' release albums digitally, on apple!

by AM 5. November 2009 18:14

I saw this morning that the Beatles will be releasing the remasters on a USB drive, shaped like an apple.  Quantities will be limited to 30,000.  Each USB drive will contain 14 remastered albums, and 13 mini documentary films.  

Imagine owning this in 50 years when people will be wondering what a USB key is?!

Heh heh, I saw the thread title and was taking it literally and what do you know?

I didn't see details, are we talking a lossless format?  $300 seems a bit much to cough up, but documentaries on there, too...

Full album art and lyrics viewable on a computer?

It's really tempting.

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

well if you divide $300 by 14 albums, you're coming in at about $21 per album.... which you're right, seems like a lot and more than buying the actual cd.

i read that there is full artwork, but lyrics...not sure.

Would still get it.  Will be a collector's item once USB is old technology, almost like having all of the beatles on 8 track!

do share if you get it!

That $21 figure isn't taking the documentaries into account though.

The documentaries aren't worth much, to be honest. Any real Beatles fan would have already seen and/or heard these interviews plenty of times.
