Beatles songs available to buy online

The Beatles' entire back catalogue has been made available to buy digitally for the first time.

US-based download site BlueBeat is selling the tracks, which include their recently remastered albums, as well as streaming them for users to listen to as many times as they like for free.

However, it is currently unclear whether EMI or Apple Corps - who must give permission for The Beatles' music to be sold online - have sanctioned the website to sell the songs, NME reports.

A spokesperson for Apple Corps said that she didn't believe BlueBeat had the permission to make the Liverpool band's back catalogue available.
