Beatles catalogue released on Apple-shaped USB

Now, we rather like the Beatles, but can’t say we’ve ever craved owning their entire back catalogue in the form of a removable USB stick stuck in a plastic green apple.

For reasons best known to themselves, Apple Corps Ltd. and EMI Music have teamed up to build a limited edition run of 30,000 USB drives containing the entire re-mastered Beatles catalogue.

The 16GB USB drive slots into a fake apple and contains 14 stereo titles in FLAC 44.1 Khz 24 bit and MP3 320 Kbps formats, fully compatible with PC and Mac.

Beatles catalogue released on Apple-shaped USBAs “exquisitely crafted” as an apple-shaped USB drive can be, there’s also the re-mastered  ‘visual elements’ of the CDs (I think they mean ‘record sleeves’ here), plus 13 mini-documentary films about the studio albums, replicated original UK album art, rare photos and expanded liner notes.

This green bauble of plastic Beatles goodness can be all yours for a mere £200, with the UK store warning that they are limited to just 100 units.

For the sake of completeness here’s the entire tracklisting.
