Apple Holds Entire Beatles Catalog. No, Not That Apple.

Although it made us remember the decades long legal dispute between Apple Inc. and Apple Corps, settled in February 2007., this apple doesn’t have anything to do with Apple, the computer company (although we reckon that Apple Inc. won’t be particularly fond of this release).

We’re talking about a limited edition USB containing remastered Beatles songs and other goodies, shaped like an apple. There will only be 30,000 of these, so if you want one, line up for the release date on December 7 (December 8 in North America).

Here’s what the package contains: “re-mastered audio for The Beatles’ 14 stereo titles, as well as all of the re-mastered CDs’ visual elements, including 13 mini-documentary films about the studio albums, replicated original UK album art, rare photos and expanded liner notes.”

When you plug the USB into your computer, a Flash interface will pop up for easy navigation. It’s compatible with PC and Mac, and if the price of 279 bucks sounds OK to you, you can preorder it here
