As of 12:01 a.m. on Dec. 24, The Beatles‘ entire back catalogue will be available to stream. Unlike the band’s contract with Apple’s iTunes, which exclusively had rights to downloads, there are no such streaming restrictions. Their music will be available on numerous streaming platforms, including Apple Music, Google Play, Amazon Prime, Rhapsody, Spotify and Tidal. On The Beatles’ website, fans are encouraged to follow along with the launch, which occurs in local time, so each time zone has to wait until approximately 12:01 a.m. to access the songs. A spinning globe on the site shows which parts of the world currently have a ticket to stream. “Happy Crimble, With Love From Us to You,” the message ends.[/QUOTE] I'm pretty happy about this, I've never given The Beatles discography a good listen to, and I will be able to now.

been listening to the early stuff lately, it's terrific. :]

I was very sad when I found out they weren't on streaming services a year or so ago. Just checked yesterday actually and was still disappointed, so this is excellent news!

Oh fuck YES!

Sweet, now I may be able to get into them a bit more I don't have the time or money to be able to go and buy albums

How about a VEVO channel on YT for them, hrm? Nothing but a pic of the album art and the song. Kenny Loggins did this...or, perhaps, his producers...one of the cuts of Danger Zone on KennyLogginsVEVO is exactly what I described.

Seem to be album cuts overlaid atop the video, nice. [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yK0P1Bk8Cx4]This[/url] is how I want the stuff uploaded. Just a single .jpg with an MP3 backing. Nice and easy on the phone batt!

The Beatles stuff isn't there yet, but it probably will be fairly soon. On a side note, as great as this is I'm kinda butthurt since I just got a bunch of Beatles albums so I could start properly listening to their discography because I couldn't get it on Google Play, and now they're all there.
