Music Ally

Okay, so the only place you’ll find the Fab Four’s recorded output available in digital form is still in The Beatles: Rock Band console game. However, UK streaming music service we7 has secured something of a coup with a playlist of live versions of Beatles tracks performed by Sir Paul McCartney.

The playlist includes Hey Jude, Eleanor Rigby and Yesterday, and can be streamed from the we7 website or embedded elsewhere (such as here – see above).

“The Beatles are everywhere today with the release of their newly remastered work and the launch of Beatles Rock Band – but to date, their catalogue has not been made available through any legal online music services,” says CEO Steve Purdham. “we7 listens to what our users want and as a result, we’re giving them the chance to listen to the best line up of classic Beatles tracks sung by Sir Paul himself. You just need to hit the play button!”

A canny move, indeed.
