BG: Beatles Sell A Lot Of Records…Again

We haven’t really talked much about the much hyped Beatles remasters around these parts (maybe it’s because we haven’t gotten around to plunking our hard earned cash on any of them just yet), but by all accounts both the stereo and mono versions are everything you’d expect and more.

While there was no such thing as Sound Scan during the band’s heyday, the Fab Four sold over 2.25 million copies of their recent upgrades in the first five days of their release. The band also managed an impressive record of charting 16 albums in Billboard’s Top 50, along with breaking records for the most simultaneous titles in the top-selling charts by a single artist.

Finally, at their recent stop at San Francisco’s famed Fillmore Bon Iver front man Justin Vernon dropped some disheartening news on the audience. Vernon & Co., who have been touring relentlessly over the last couple of years behind their highly acclaimed full-length For Emma, Forever Ago and recent EP Blood Bank, will be going on a hiatus when their tour wraps with a hometown show of sorts at Milwaukee’s Riverside Theatre on October 11. Vernon’s latest project, Volcano Choir, which songs predate his Bon Iver work,  just released their debut album Unmap earlier this week.
