The Beatles: on an Apple-shaped USB stick - but still
not Spotify

You can't get the Beatles on Spotify but you can - just in time for Christmas - get the Beatles back catalogue on an apple-shaped USB stick. Apple Records, the label the Beatles set up, have packed 14 stereo albums, 13 mini-documentary films about the albums, album art and copies of rare photos on this novelty USB, based on the label's logo. It's not cheap though... it's a cool £200 for the USB stick. Cutely-shaped though it is, this memorabilia won't go down a bomb with the free music streaming generation but for hard core fans, perhaps with a bit more money to slosh around, this may well prove popular at Christmas. Though it's a far cry from vinyl, only 100 will be released (on 7th December) so the rarity of them might make them more desirable.
