Beatles to get digital release… on USB apples
Apple Corps and EMI have announced plans to release a limited-edition run of 30,000 Beatles Stereo USB Apples on 7 December. Yep, apple-shaped USB drives, preloaded with the 14 recently remastered albums from the Fab Four’s back catalogue, along with documentary films, album art, photos and liner notes. The songs will be provided in FLAC and MP3 versions. How much? £200. Not a bad way to make $6 million in a hurry.
