Beatles remasters get release date
The remastered back catalogue of The Beatles will be released on September 9.

Stereo versions of all 12 original UK studio albums, the Magical Mystery Tour LP and the Past Masters compilation will be available individually or together in a box set, while fans can also buy the 11-album The Beatles In Mono collection.

The albums will each feature expanded booklets with new liner notes and rare photographs, while the discs will also be embedded with a documentary film about the album for a limited time.

A statement from Apple Corps and EMI Music read: "Discussions regarding the digital distribution of the catalogue will continue."

They added that the albums had been re-mastered at Abbey Road Studios over a four-year period using a mixture of modern and older technology "carefully maintaining the authenticity and integrity of the original analogue recordings".

The launch of the remasters will coincide with the release of The Beatles: Rock Band video game for the Wii, PS3 and Xbox 360.
