Beatles Rock Band about to be released. 09/09/09
On Wed morning 09/09/09 the latest version of of the popular music video game, Rock Band, will be released and this time will feature the Beatles. This will be by far the most elaborate Rock Band version and will include scenes of the Beatles playing songs from throughout their career, and at some of the venues which they made famous. And for the first time, game play will include the ability for three different singers to try to sing the rich harmonies which the Beatles often employed. (Of course 3 microphones will be required for this).
There is also being offered a deluxe version which will include replicas of the three guitar types made famous by Paul McCartney, John Lennon, and George Harrison, along with the drum kit of Ringo Starr. However the standard guitars and drums that are already available will work as well.
And even though the Beatles music has continued to be discovered by young people every year, I am happy that an entire new generation will start to hear some of the lessor known songs and will get to know the magic of the Beatles through the elaborate videos that will come with the game. It will certainly be a fun experience which entire families will be able to enjoy with one another!
This release coincides with the release of the entire Beatles collection of original albums that have been completely remastered to the point at which they are said to now come closest to the actual sound the Beatles created in the studio than has ever been achieved. Theese will also contain a number of extras with photos and Videos, and will be available in both mono and stereo versions. I personally can’t wait to hear some of my favorite albums at their very best. So I’ll be ordering on Wednesday morning–maybe at 9:09:09!
