Each song on the site is illustrated with special interactive features. For example, click on "Get Back" and listen to the Beatles perform that song in their last live performance together. Go to "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" and hear the band chat between takes in the studio. "All You Need Is Love" has instructions available for download on how to make an origami heart or dove.
Ten songs are to be released when the Web site launches on Monday. Seventeen others are due out over the next three months.
