jordenf v2.0

Okay Beatles fans get ready for the most awesome stocking stuffer (albeit an expensive one) for Christmas.

Apple and EMI are releasing a limited edition Apple shaped 16GB USB device that contains all 14 Beatles albums!  The albums are all digitally remastered in stereo and are DRM free (Note for Mom and Dad: DRM free means that you can share the music with anyone without getting put in jail).  The albums also come in two formats – 320 Kbps MP3 and lossless FLAC 24-bit (Note for Mom and Dad: I know you guys know what an MP3 is but FLAC format is a higher quality version of an MP3 and actually sound cleaner than a CD would… neat huh!?)

As if getting the whole Beatles collection in two different file formats wasn’t enough The Beatles Apple USB also comes with rare photographs, replicated album art, enhanced liner notes, and 13 mini-documentary films.

There will only be 30,000 of these released (at $263CAD) so you may want to get your pre-order on now at The Beatles Store.  Canadians, it looks like we will have to order from Amazon.ca as the Beatles website does not ship to us in the Great White North.  Release date is December 8th.

Cheers!
