The British ReInvasion Continues!

November 4, 2009 03:21 by Adam

It's official. It's cool to be a Beatle again. It seems to be the whole thing got started with the release of Beatles Rock Band. It became obvious to me when for some reason BlackBerry's commercials use "All You Need Is Love" ( apparantly though you need Love, a BlackBerry and a data plan). It became great however when they re-released the ENTIRE catalog of Beatles music remastered digitally. That last part, in general, is the part that Beatles fans young and old were most excited about. The Beatles are not yet availible on iTunes so this is the best way to get the music of the greatest band of all time in the ears of those who miss it, those who love it and those who have yet to hear it.  Well just in time for the holiday season comes the ultimate gift for any Beatles fan you know. Just about everything the Beatles have ever created, stuffed on a 16 GB flash drive, shaped like an Apple. To be more specific, according to retrotogo.com:

"This limited edition launch offers 14 digitally remastered stereo albums, CD 'visual elements', 13 mini-documentary films about the albums, replicated original UK album art, rare photos and expanded liner notes, all on one USB device. "

Only 30,000 of these gems will be created, retailing for a little less than $300,  so if you want one get to TheBeatles.com ASAP to pre-order one before they go on sale November 8th. This is another fantastic usage of custom USB flash drives to sell music. There certainly has been a trend in recent years of bands selling albums on flash drives. It is eco-friendly because there is less garbage packaging, it is portable and you can transfer the music off and reuse it yourself. This Beatles flash drive is a completely custom flash drive which can be done if you have a lot of time on your hands but Motivators has their own huge selection of standard flash drives availible.

Dammit! How am I supposed to come up with $300 and justify this present for myself right before the holidays? Blast! Its absolutely well worth it though and would be a great gift for anyone. Not only for fellow hardcore fans of the greatest band of all time, but I'm all for doing the younger generation a favor and introducing The Beatles to people that have not yet had the joy of experiencing their music. Hopefully RockBand has helped in that respect as well.

On a scale of 1 - 10 of Beatledom I would probably only put myself at like 4.5

That being said I think this is really freakin cool.

Loved to read your blog. I would like to suggest you that traffic show most people read blogs on Mondays. So it should encourage bloggers to write new write ups over the weekend primarily.
