The Beatles…

…or…

…The Rolling Stones?

Now, before jumping to conclusions, let’s take a gander at an insightful quote from Lemmy…

The Beatles were from Liverpool. It’s a hard town. The Stones weren’t the hard men. They just dressed up. The Beatles were the hard men. Fucking Liverpool, man. The Stones are from the suburbs of London. Ringo was from the fucking Dingle, which is the worst area, next to Glasgow, that I’ve ever seen in my life. What they did in both those places—they couldn’t reform it, so they just knocked it down. They moved everybody out and razed it and built new housing projects. No way to make it civilized, you know what I mean? It was fucking lawless. The police wouldn’t go in there.

“From Me to You”, the Beatles tune covered here by Lonnie Mack.

As always, be FAB and click pause on the music player located in the side bar before playing the YouTube.

From Music Radar…

In a curious move, Apple Corps Ltd and EMI Music are manufacturing 30,000 of these, each of which comes pre-loaded with 14 stereo remastered Beatles albums and 13 mini-documentaries. The apple will also contain replicated album art, rare photos and expanded liner notes.

I guess they are saying it’s a “curious move” because the flash drive is sort of superfluous technology or, the fact that these sorts of things have sold poorly in the past. I don’t know.

The device does feature lossless files. I think that core Beatles fans will snap these up and put them on the mantles and in the personal shrines at $280.
