Apple Corps Ltd. along with EMI Music have announced September 9 will be the release date for the highly anticipated original Beatles catalog, the same day “The Bealtes: Rock Band” video game is due to hit stores.

The catalog has been digitally remastered for the first time and will feature replicated original album art for each CD.

The remastering process has taken four years to combine new recording technology with vintage studio equipment, all in an attempt to try to remain true to the original analogue recordings.

The collection includes all 12 Beatles albums in stereo, as well as the U.S. version of the “Magical Mystery Tour” LP and the collections “Past Masters Vol. I” and “Past Masters Vol. II” (which are now one title).

There will also be booklets that include historical notes and recording notes within each CD.

Two new Beatles boxed CD collections are due for release on the same day as well.
