Whoever decided to re-release all the Beatles’ albums in a digitally re-mastered format came up with a brilliant idea because there are 11 of them in the top 40 this week.
None of the fab four’s records hit number one spot though. Vera Lynn’s best of collection took that honour.
The Beatles’ album to reach the highest spot (5) was Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, which may be their most famous, but I don’t think is their best. My favourite has to be Abbey Road, it was released in 1969 and was the final Beatles’ album recorded.
On Abbey Road the songs seem to run seamlessly one after the other. Some of my favourite tunes are: You Never Gave Me Your Money and Carry That Weight.
The cynic in me says why do you need to buy the albums again, however I have yet to hear the new recordings. It must be a big money spinner for the record label EMI.
It is amazing so many of the albums have hit the charts as you, as yet, can’t buy Beatles’ music on iTunes.
You can also now buy a new computer game called The Beatles Rock Band where you get the chance to be Paul, John, George and Ringo and score points against each other.
