Although musical pioneers in the 1960s, The Beatles have since been famously slow to embrace modern musical formats and services. It took them until 1987 to reissue their albums on compact disc, and their music remained un-remastered until new CD editions were released in 2009.

A year later they made their music available for download on Apple’s iTunes Store. In the first week they sold more than 450,000 albums and two million singles.
