For casual buyers who didn't get swept up in Beatlemania with the massive remaster/reissue project last year, EMI will reissue The Beatles' 1962-1966 and 1967-1970, arguably two of the most recognizable compilations of The Fab Four in history.

Known to many as the "Red" and "Blue" albums, these double-disc sets provided a concise anthology of John, Paul, George and Ringo's hits and notable album sides. (We wouldn't be surprised if some of our younger readers cut their teeth on these sets.) While they're rendered completely irrelevant to anyone who snatched up the remasters in September, they'll probably do well enough to attract hardcore collectors and casual buyers in the weeks leading up to the Christmas rush.

The sets are due out October 19, a week prior to the Apple reissue series. Order them here and here and hit the jump for track info.
