Information about The Beatles Discography

The Beatles released twelve original albums, twelve EPs (featuring mostly otherwise available material), one double EP, and twenty-two singles (featuring mostly otherwise unavailable material) in eight years (1962-1970) in their native United Kingdom. Their international discography is complicated, however, due to sometimes different versions of their albums released in other countries, particularly in their early years on Capitol Records in the United States. In addition, most of their releases are available in both mono and stereo mixes.

Historical background

The first seven Beatles albums appeared in very different versions in the U.S., where Capitol Records mixed UK album tracks with UK single tracks to create different albums altogether, with different titles, track listings, and often different audio mixes. The first eight of these records have been released on CD as The Capitol Albums, Volume 1 (2004) and The Capitol Albums, Volume 2 (2006). The Capitol release of Rubber Soul is preferred by some over its UK counterpart, due to its more folky flavour; it was this version of the album that greatly influenced the Beach Boys' Brian Wilson, who "answered" it by releasing Pet Sounds in 1966. Upon the release of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band in 1967, the Beatles albums had the same track listing in both the U.S. and the UK (The only exception to this is Magical Mystery Tour, which was released as a double EP in the UK, and a longer LP in the U.S.).

The first ten (of twelve) Beatles albums were released in both mono and stereo mixes. However, stereo record players were rare at the time, so producer George Martin and the Beatles gave more time and attention to preparing mono mixes of their recordings, particularly for their early records. Therefore, the mono versions are considered by many to be the "official" versions, as opposed to the stereo releases. In fact, when the Beatles discography was released on CD in the 1980s, the mono mixes of the first four albums were used, rather than the stereo mixes. However, the last two albums, Abbey Road and Let It Be, were mixed and released in stereo only.

The Beatles UK discography was released on CD in the late 1980s. However, the sound of the digital transfers of the current discs, produced by George Martin in 1987 and 1988 using the best equipment available during the early days of the format, no longer meet standards achievable using current techniques in Direct Stream Digital, HDCD, and others. The sound on the remastered catalogues of Bob Dylan, the Bee Gees, the Beach Boys, and the Rolling Stones, among other heavyweights from the 1960s, have been greatly enhanced using technological developments that have occurred since Martin's initial digital mastering, and as of 2007, similar work for the Beatles is long overdue. In addition, many Beatles enthusiasts feel that the CD releases of the albums are inferior because the recordings were originally mastered to be played on vinyl, which, when played back, arguably possess a warm sound which CDs are not able to reproduce. Many purists today still listen to Beatles albums only on vinyl.

Olivia Harrison recently stated that the Beatles songs and albums had been remastered, and were in the final production stage. However, Harrison did state that she feels these may not be released until the end of 2008, possibly due to changes that may need to be made. [1]

U.S. albums

In the United States, as noted above, The Beatles albums were rearranged, retitled and remixed. Some of the U.S. releases were nearly identical to their UK counterparts, often only varying by one or two songs. Most releases contained songs that were also found on other records, which made things difficult for the American Beatles fan trying to purchase the band's entire catalogue. By 1967, beginning with Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, all U.S. releases matched the UK releases exactly (with the exception of the UK double EP Magical Mystery Tour (1967), which was released as an LP in the U.S. and included extra tracks not found on the UK release).

Canadian compilations and other releases

All post-Beatles albums were released exactly the same in Canada as in the U.S., with the exception of:

Extended plays (EPs)

During the years that the Beatles were together and recording, album tracks were not customarily released as singles, and vice versa. Instead, EMI would release album tracks as EPs, long singles with two songs per side. With two exceptions, the EPs feature songs also available on Beatles albums, rather than original material.

Canadian singles

As appeared on the "CHUM Hit Parade" charts between the weeks of Monday 6 January 1963 and Saturday 8 January 1977.[2] Capitol of Canada said yes to The Beatles from day one and issued early Beatle singles in their 72000 series of Canada only releases[1] before aligning with the American company's numbering system when the American company began issuing Beatle singles. American Beatle recordings issued on the Vee-Jay, Swan and Tollie labels were issued by Capitol of Canada with 72000 series catalogue numbers.
