Remastered Beatles library result of Rock Band?

07.04.2009
Apple Corps Ltd. and EMI Music have recently announced that on September 9th of this year (09/09/09), the entire Beatles library will be digitally remastered for release. Yep, that means all 12 Beatles albums that you're going to have to buy yet again.

While Beatles re-releases aren't anything new, the interesting aspect of this story comes from Billboard executive Robert Levine, who points out that the remastered Beatles library will coincide with the release of the upcoming Beatles: Rock Band game.

Most bands, when they do a big project like this they pay for publicity. The Beatles got paid for 'Rock Band' and then they are using that for publicity to re-release a catalogue. It's pretty amazing.
