Fab Four poised for chart invasion

SOME 45 years after the first wave of Beatlemania, retailers are preparing for the biggest chart invasion ever seen by the Fab Four from today.

Not only are the album charts expected to be swamped with 14 revamped albums by the band by this weekend, but the group are also expected to top the video game charts with the newly-developed Beatles Rock Band.

The new thrust is due to the release of remastered copies of their studio recordings – refined with months of painstaking work – to be released today on what is being dubbed Beatles Day.
