Thursday November 9 11:32 AM ET Beatles 'dot.com Together' After 30 Years dailynews.yahoo.com By Paul Majendie LONDON (Reuters) - Thirty years after their breakup, The Beatles are ready to ``dot.com together'' again for the launch of their first official Web site -- and the world's media got a sneak preview Thursday. The Beatles are finally taking the long and winding road onto the information superhighway with the world's top Internet designers offering a magical mystery tour around their 27 Number One hits. -- You can step back on a London roof to hear The Beatles perform ``Get Back'' in their last live performance together. -- Players from London, Tokyo, Sydney and New York can sign on to play ``Help'' in an interactive search for the Beatles' instruments in a giant labyrinth. -- Welcome to the famous Abbey Road recording studios, stand behind John Lennon, join in for the first chorus of ``I Wanna Hold Your Hand'' and listen to the band chatting between takes. -- For those who had fun in the Sixties but may be too addled to remember why, try the kaleidoscopic effects for ``Day Tripper.'' The site -- www.thebeatles.com -- goes live on November 13 to illustrate a compilation album of the 27 Beatle hits that went to Number One in Britain and the United States. Pioneers Again Abbey Road Studios joined forces with the three surviving Beatles -- Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr -- and John Lennon's widow Yoko Ono for the ambitious global project. Lennon was murdered in New York in 1980. Geoff Baker, spokesman for the Beatles company Apple Corps, dubbed the ambitious venture ``Dot.Com Together. The Beatles are back at Abbey Road -- in cyberspace.'' ``The Beatles are pioneering new ground for the launch of a new album. Nobody has ever done anything on this scale before,'' Baker said at the Abbey Road studios where the zebra road crossing must rank as the most photographed in the world ever since it graced a Beatles album cover. There are about 3,000 Beatles-related sites but this is the first official one and the Beatles were determined it would offer a state-of-the-art window into their music for diehard fans and, hopefully, a new generation. Jeremy Neech, project manager for the song-sites, proudly showed off the first 10 illustrated hits -- the other 17 will come out over the next three months -- and explained what input the Beatles had. ``They loved it. They are all Internet-savvy and like what we have done,'' he said. ``Paul suggested taking sound from the Abbey Road archives of them talking whilst they were recording. Ringo recommended a Los Angeles designer. George loved the 'Day Tripper' stuff.. We went over to New York and showed Yoko Ono what we were doing.'' Novel ideas abound. ``For 'I Wanna Hold Your Hand' we took a 360-degree photo of Studio Two from each Beatle's perspective and you can just click onto John and stand behind his microphone,'' he said. ``And if you click onto 'All You Need Is Love' then you can download origami instructions on how to make your own love heart or love dove.''
