The Beatles' back catalogue will finally be made available on streaming services this Christmas Eve, according to reports.

The Fab Four's music has thus far not been available on the likes of Spotify, Deezer and Apple Music - but that is allegedly due to change as one of music's most famous bands are set to give fans the present of their songbook for Christmas.

Billboard reports that sources claim that "most, if not all" services will have access to their studio albums, so you could be listening to 'All You Need is Love' and 'Hey Jude' around the dinner table come Friday.

That said, Spotify would not comment on the rumours - while Apple Music, Tidal, Deezer and Slacker did not respond to requests.

As Billboard point out, however, it's taken The Beatles quite a while to catch up with technology; their back catalogue wasn't released on CD until 1987 and then it took 22 years for it to be remastered, while it took 6 years to get their music on iTunes.
