The Beatles entire back catalogue is finally available on iTunes after years of negotiations.

Until now, the Liverpool band have been one of the few groups to refuse to allow their music to be sold online.

However, iTunes customers will now be able to purchase the fab four's classic records from their entire career after Apple and record label EMI finally came to an arrangement.

"It's fantastic to see the songs we originally released on vinyl receive as much love in the digital world as they did the first time around," Sir Paul McCartney said to BBC News.

The Beatles albums will be available for purchase and download for £10.99 each, double albums for £17.99 and individual tracks for 99p.
