MTV Games and Harmonix revealed 15 more of the 45 tracks that will be included on the disc in The Beatles: Rock Band. In addition to the 10 tracks announced at Microsoft's Xbox 360 Media Briefing at E3 2009 – I Saw Her Standing There, I Want To Hold Your Hand, I Feel Fine, Taxman, Day Tripper, Back In The USSR, I Am The Walrus, Octopus’s Garden, Here Comes The Sun, and Get Back – the unveiling of these next 15 songs brings the total number of songs revealed from the 45 tracks to 25. This reveal, however, also includes a listing of the locations where you will encounter each of the tracks while playing through the game.

The 15 newly revealed tracks, and the venues where those tracks will be encountered, are:

·Twist And Shout / Cavern Club

·Do You Want To Know A Secret / Cavern Club

·Can't Buy Me Love / Ed Sullivan Theater

·I Wanna Be Your Man / Ed Sullivan Theater

·Eight Days A Week / Shea Stadium

·Paperback Writer / Budokan

·And Your Bird Can Sing / Budokan

·Yellow Submarine / Abbey Road Dreamscape

·Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band* / Abbey Road Dreamscape

·With a Little Help from My Friends* / Abbey Road Dreamscape

·Within You Without You / Tomorrow Never Knows / Abbey Road Dreamscape

·Revolution / Abbey Road Dreamscape

·Birthday / Abbey Road Dreamscape

·Dig A Pony / Rooftop Concert

·I've Got A Feeling / Rooftop Concert

As previously announced, there will be more tracks unveiled at a later date, keeping the hype going as the game's release date draws closer and closer. For those of you who aren't familiar with The Beatles: Rock Band and how it's going to be different from the previous Rock Band games or track packs, it will be a full-featured new game following the story of The Beatles' career, from their early touring days in 1963 Liverpool, England, all the way to their last performance on the Apple Corps rooftops. As in previous Rock Band titles, you'll be able to pick up the guitar, bass or sit down at the drums and even sing. This time round though, you'll be able to sing with up to three singers, allowing for up to six players or for three players to each pick up a microphone, with three-part harmonies. The Beatles: Rock Band is also the first The Beatles video game ever, so that's a pretty big deal.

For those of you who are familiar with the Rock Band games and have been following the news on The Beatles: Rock Band closely, you're probably not surprised by at least one of the 15 tracks announced today – Paperback Writer – because you probably took note that it didn't appear in the list of the first 10 unveiled tracks, but in the game's opening cinematic (which you've also probably also seen already, at least twice). You probably also noticed that one other track in the opening cinematic has not yet appeared in either of the two lists of unveiled tracks – A Hard Day's Night. If you didn't, you can check it out here.

The Beatles: Rock Band will be releasing worldwide (North America, Europe, Australia and New Zealand) on September 9^th (9/9/9), the same day as the release of the complete remastered box set of all of The Beatles studio albums (apparently releasing in both mono and stereo formats), for Xbox 360, Playstation 3 and Wii. It will be compatible with all previously released Rock Band instrument controllers, as well as most Guitar Hero and “other authorized” third-party music/rhythm video game peripherals and microphones. The game is available for pre-order at some retailers in North America and Europe, and fans who pre-order the game at participating retailers will get a special access code to join the official The Beatles: Rock Band Pre-Order Club, giving them access to the latest news and behind-the-scenes looks into the game.
