Five tracks from the album - Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, With A Little Help From My Friends, Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds, Getting Better and Good Morning Good Morning - are already included in the game software.

It remains to be seen how gamers are expected to tackle the orchestral crescendos of A Day In The Life using the plastic buttons of the Rock Band controllers.

rock_band_sgt_pepper_01 Last month MTV Games and Harmonix released Abbey Road as the game's first downloadable album. All You Need Is Love was the first standalone track made available, and has been downloaded more than 100,000 times on the XboxLIVE online entertainment network, with all proceeds benefiting Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF).

The complete Rubber Soul album will be released as downloadable content in December.
