They are one of the biggest, most loved bands in history. You know them, you love them, your dad loves them — so then why haven’t they been on your iTunes playlist?
Not until 9:30 a.m. EST this morning could you purchase The Beatles on Apple‘s iTunes, but now you can. You can buy full albums such as Abby Road or Revolver for $12.99, or just get down with your favorite hits for $1.29. If you’re a diehard fan, you can get the whole kit n’ caboodle for $149 and call it a day.
On the Apple website, there’s a section dedicated solely to The Fab Four, where you can watch legendary performances and classic commercials.
You thought you were freakin’ out? So is the band. “We’re really excited to bring the Beatles’ music to iTunes,” said Sir Paul McCartney. “It’s fantastic to see the songs we originally released on vinyl receive as much love in the digital world as they did the first time around.”
Ringo Starr chimed in too. “I am particularly glad to no longer be asked when The Beatles are coming to iTunes … At last, if you want it — you can get it now — The Beatles from Liverpool to now! Peace and Love, Ringo.”
