The Beatles: Rock Band is a 2009 music video game currently being developed by Harmonix Music Systems and distributed by MTV Games and Electronic Arts. The game, a spin-off to the Rock Band Series. This Game Is Based Completely Off Of The Beatles Carrers.
Soundtrack
[edit]The game will include 45 master tracks chosen from twelve of The Beatles albums recorded during their 1962–1969 tenure with EMI Records.[1][2] Several non-album singles and the mashup track "Within You Without You/Tomorrow Never Knows" from the 2006 remix album Love have also been included.[3] Previously unreleased studio chatter will also be included.[4] The game will include The Beatles tracks whose publishing rights are owned by Sony/ATV Music Publishing Company.[5] Though Michael Jackson, who owned 50% of the publishing rights to The Beatles songs through Sony/ATV, died in June 2009, any potential estate sale of those rights will not affect the songs or the release of The Beatles: Rock Band, according to Harmonix.[6]
Currently, 44 of the game's 45 on-disc songs have been revealed by Harmonix (including "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" and "With a Little Help From My Friends" as separate songs that join into each other). They are as follows:[7][5][3][8][9][10][11][12][13]
- ^a Songs are only playable back-to-back as a single track.[9]
- ^b A mashup of the two songs, originally from the Love album.
Downloadable content
[edit]Additional songs will be available for the game as downloadable content. This includes full albums; the remaining songs from Abbey Road will be released for the game shortly after launch to eventually be followed by Rubber Soul and Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.[7] The song "All You Need Is Love" will also be among the first batch of downloadable content, proceeds from which will be donated to Doctors Without Borders.[5] The song will initially be available as a timed exclusive for Xbox 360 on the same day the game is released.[14] It will later become available for the PlayStation 3 and Wii.[15] While there is potential for the entire catalogue of the band to be made available, such a situation would be "stretching it a bit", according to Harmonix' John Drake, and that future content will likely be initially focused on "rounding out" the catalogue.[16]
