Abbey road considerably outselling Pepper in the US, but not in the UK.
pseudo limited edition blurring the figures for the Mono box.
Good to see they kept the plastic apple USB sales out of this
anyone know if the Mono really is limited or was that just the initial idea before Apple inc realised how much money could be made off it.
cause if it is limited, HMV have no right putting that in a clearance sale.

White Album is also considerably less popular with Britishers than Americans it seems.

The Beatles on iTunes at last?
http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/music_blog/2010/11/the-beatles-on-itunes-at-last.html
An agreement for legal downloading of the group’s cherished catalog of more than 200 songs recorded from 1962-1970 is about to be announced by Steve Jobs’ Apple Inc., the Beatles’ Apple Corps and EMI/Capitol Records, the Journal reports... A spokesman for Apple Inc. said Monday that the company had no comment on the report. The company is making what it claims will be an "exciting" announcement on Tuesday morning.

I'd be interested who would forgo the 24bit FLACs within the plastic apple, but once it's on itunes would pay the £150 for the aacs in the boxset.
This is just for people making best ofs.... I'd be surpised if there were many album sales.

dunno if this is true or not, but wiki says: " Another reason for the high sales of 1 was the clarity of new remastered versions of the songs, which offered a brighter and clearer sound in comparison of the poor quality of the original 1987 CD masters of The Beatles recordings."
― tylerw, Tuesday, 16 November 2010 17:07 (thirteen years ago) link
Well, what I believe PMac said at the time was they went for the original masters as those were the ones that had been the "hits" back in the day, and that this would be the last time they'd be newly available.
― Mark G, Tuesday, 16 November 2010 17:09 (thirteen years ago) link
Yes, the first CDs were such poor quality that they only CHANGED MY LIFE. I only listened to them 3000 times before throwing them away for sounding so bad.

The new downloads are offered in the iTunes Plus format that is DRM-free using 256 kilobits per second AAC encoding and a 44.1 kilohertz sampling rate. That means the audio quality is far better than standard MP3 audio files and equivalent to the remastered CDs released last year. The iTunes Plus downloads are still short of the higher-resolution digital versions issued on an apple-shaped USB edition of the complete catalog released last year in digital files equal to the higher-quality capability of Blu-ray discs.
