The Beatles' digital downloads available online thanks to BlueBeat


Last night, speaking to the Telegraph, a spokesperson for EMI said that the company had not given BlueBeat.com permission to sell the tracks and that they would be "looking into" the matter.


The Beatles' entire back catalogue is available to download for the first time ever at 15p per track on Bluebeat.com, after years of holding out against online retailers such as iTunes, eager for some Beatles music.

In addition to offering each and every track as a digital download, BlueBeat.com is also letting users stream each track for free.

However, it’s unclear whether EMI and Apple Corps have actually given the site permission to sell the Fab Four’s hits.

Last night, speaking to the Telegraph, a spokesperson for EMI said that the company had not given BlueBeat.com permission to sell the tracks and that they would be “looking into” the matter.

Despite this, it’s still possible to buy a digital copy of Abbey Road now for just $4.25 (£2.60), five times cheaper than the price of a typical iTunes album.
