It's been a long and winding road, this relationship between Apple and the Beatles.
But Tuesday, at long last, the Fab Four made it to iTunes.
The iTunes store's main page featured a host of Beatles albums for sale, beneath an early photo of the supergroup.
The update came in advance of what Apple had promised would be a 10 a.m. ET announcement that would make Tuesday, "A day to remember."
The Beatles had famously been the most high-profile hold-out to making their music available via digital download.
The surviving band members and the estates of the others have been reluctant to sign up, saying that the quality of digital music isn't good enough to do their catalogue justice.
That being the case, the past few years have seen rumor after rumor that the Beatles were finally going to arrive on iTunes.
The iTunes page offered a Beatles box set, lots of albums from their more than two-decade career and video of a live concert.
