Worldwide, the English rock band the Beatles released 12 studio albums (17 in the US), 5 live albums, 49 compilation albums, 36 extended plays (EPs), and 37 box sets. In their native United Kingdom, during their active existence as a band, they released 12 studio albums (including 1 double album), 1 compilation album, and 13 EPs (including 1 double EP). The early albums released from 1962 to March 1968 were originally on Parlophone, and their albums from August 1968 to 1970 were on their subsidiary label Apple. Their output also includes vault items, remixed mash-ups and anniversary box-sets.
The Beatles are the biggest selling band of all time, selling over 500 million records.[1] With the first CD releases of their albums in 1987 and 1988, the Beatles’ core catalogue was harmonised worldwide to encompass their 12 original UK studio albums, the 1967 US Magical Mystery Tour album and the newly assembled Past Masters: Volumes One and Two compilation albums consisting of all the studio recordings released during 1962 to 1970 that are not present on the UK studio albums or Magical Mystery Tour (mainly non-album singles, B-sides and EP tracks). When the core catalogue was reissued in remastered editions in 2009, the two volumes of Past Masters were combined into one double album. Since then, other past releases have been reissued in digital formats and on vinyl. The catalogue is currently distributed by Universal Music Enterprises‘ Calderstone Productions. This core catalogue contains all 217 tracks[a] intended for commercial release, either as album tracks, EP tracks, or singles, that were put out by the Beatles from 1962 to 1970.[2][3]
The Beatles’ international discography is more complicated due to different versions of their albums sometimes being released in other countries, particularly during their early years on Capitol Records in North America. Prior to 1967, it was common practice for British releases to be reconfigured for the American market. The first seven British Beatles albums were converted into ten LPs for the American market, adding material from singles and the UK EPs; the band were unhappy with these reconfigurations. With the exception of Magical Mystery Tour, studio releases from Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band in 1967 forward were uniform in both the UK and the US. The band’s first eight albums were released on Parlophone. From 1968, in both the UK and the US, starting with the single “Hey Jude” and the album The Beatles (better known as “the White Album”), new releases appeared on the Beatles’ own Apple record label, although Parlophone and Capitol catalogue numbers continued to be used for contractual reasons.
The Beatles’ discography was originally released on the vinyl format, with full-length long plays (LPs), shorter EPs and singles. Over the years, the collection has also been released on cassette, 8-track, compact disc (CD), on a USB flash drive in MP3 and 24-bit FLAC format, and on digital media streaming services. The Beatles’ UK discography was first released on CD in 1987 and 1988. Between 1962 and 1968, the Beatles released their songs in both mono and stereo versions.[4] The band’s catalogue was remastered in both mono and stereo in 2009.[5][6]

Notes
[edit]
- ^ The musicologist Alan W. Pollack identifies 219 tracks for his Notes on… series, counting 212 tracks along with six additional tracks that he did not separately identify because they were merely alternate versions of other songs (such as variations between the single version and the album version of the same track). Pollack also includes the song fragment “Can You Take Me Back”, found in the transition between “Cry Baby Cry” and “Revolution 9” on the White Album, which is often not counted by other catalogs of Beatles songs. Other notable catalogs of Beatles songs, such as Ian MacDonald‘s Revolution in the Head, differ from this list as well.
