Over 5 million CDs have been shipped to retailers as the remastered back catalogue of the band is released. The re-release of the albums is meant to spark the biggest sale of CDs in years as downloading music is now the more common option among modern day music lovers.

The Beatles, whose back catalogue includes Abbey Road, Revolver, St. Peppers, Rubber Soul and The White Album have a huge fan base in the UK, US and worldwide and with the release of The Beatles new rock band game which allows fans to play along to their favourite fab four songs, it looks like The Beatles are making a comeback into the music and technology industry at just the right time.

Sir Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr (the only surviving members of the John, Paul, George and Ringo foursome) are behind the new game The Beatles: Rock Band which is due for release this month on the Microsoft Xbox 360 console.

The giant contract was put up on Carnaby Street in Liverpool to give fans of the Beatles the chance to sign the contract as though they to were part of the band!! Im not entirely sure what the point of all this actually is, it seems to be part of a competition the memorabilia company has entered in to to win the original contract which is worth half a million pounds.

I realise that the Beatles are a massive part of Liverpool and the culture and heritage however as my partner is from Liverpool and all the family i think i can safely say that the majority of people in Liverpool are sick to the back teeth of the Beatles, Some of them see them all as fakes, People believe the Beatles started trends in fashion which was wrong, the Beatles dressed the same as everyone in Liverpool at the time and didn’t stick out more than the next guy.

After having to live with something year in and year out for so long things are going to get tiresome, The Beatles is one of them. Was this giant contract erected ‘for the fans’? No it wasn’t, it was erected so someone could make money out of the Beatles, if they really wanted to do it for the fans then they would have done it on august bank holiday when the Mathew street festival was on, this way fans from all over the world would have seen it instead of the people that have had it rubbed in their face for the last 30 years!

****EDIT***

Due to the Kind Neil posting a comment on this post i thought i would straighten my facts as i dont intend to be incorrect.

The giant contract was signed on Carnaby Street London last month, Im sorry for the muddle up
