Remastered Beatles Catalog Quickly Sells 2.25 Million Copies
The Beatles have broken multiple chart records around the world following the September 9, 2009 release of their digitally remastered catalogue. In the music markets of North America, Japan and the UK, consumers purchased more than 2.25 million copies of The Beatles' remastered albums, individually and in two multiple-CD boxed sets, one in stereo and one in mono, during the first five days of release. The Beatles' original UK studio albums were remastered by a team of engineers at Abbey Road Studios in London over a four year period. The Beatles Stereo Box Set is currently being sold for $199.99 at Amazon.com.
The release of the remastered Beatles albums coincided with the release of a Beatles version of the game Rock Band.
