Historic Day for the Beatles

After months of waiting, Beatles fans will be pleased to get their hands on the legendary band’s box set just released today (September 9).

The Beatles Stereo Box Set includes the entire collection of albums by the Fab Four. For the first time in 20 years, the Beatles catalogue has been remastered with the help of the latest technology. The soundtracks have been reworked on several levels, and the discs are said to have exceptional sound quality, and will allow us to rediscover songs that are still being sung today.

Another highly awaited event occurring today is the release of The Beatles: Rock Band video game, which includes 42 songs by the foursome from Liverpool. The game will be offered for the Nintendo Wii, Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 consoles. They are being sold in limited edition with working replicas of the Beatles’ instruments. 

When NME magazine asked Sir Paul McCartney if he’s tried out the game, he replied, "I haven’t tried it. When you go to a demo they play it and I go ‘God, that looks hard.’"
