New Beatles USB drive coming out

Pitchfork has a posting up today about the Beatles reissues, which are apparently going to be released in a digital format. Apparently, you’ll be able to purchase an apple-shaped USB drive with all the reissues on it. This is clearly an attempt to satisfy modern listeners who have complained for a long while about the Fab Four not being available on iTunes (because people are willing to shell out for Beatles stuff on CD or vinyl).

Pitchfork has an image of the drive, and we have to say, it doesn’t look very good. It’s not really so much apple-shaped as Christmas ornament-shaped. Also, this little drive will set you back $300. That’s some serious moolah, though you are getting a collection of some of the best pop music ever recorded. It might be a good idea to get it if you’re a hardcore Beatles fan and really, really want their stuff in a digital format. Although the AV Club recently stumbled across an alternative outlet for the Beatles music. We’ll see how long that lasts.

Anyways, there are plenty of Beatles cover bands still performing, too, and you can get concert tickets to see them at StubHub.
