The Beatles catalog on limited edition USB apple… (Music)

Posted by Admin – November 4, 2009


I seriously can’t decide whether this is pure genius, or just complete madness, or whether it’s just another money hungry marketing trick designed to part money from the foolish. Can you backup the mp3s? Copy them to your PC or other MP3 device? Although it costs more for the USB drive – so it would make sense to buy the CDs, and then rip to mp3. It’s a limited edition (100 units in the UK?) and costs £200. I’m pretty sure that’s an insane price – especially as it only contains the stereo version – I’d expect every version ever made for that price. (via Engadget)

Posted by Admin – September 9, 2009

Gizmodo have posted information on why you’d want to buy the new Beatles release due today, available from Amazon UK, it doesn’t come cheap:

“But that wasn’t all. In the mono version you can hear stuff that is not in the stereo version. And not just bits, but quite a lot of things. Instruments, notes, even lyrics. Take the reprise version of Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band: It is full of shouting—Lennon going bananas at the end, and other bits at the beginning—that is not in the stereo mix.” – Gizmodo
