In their native United Kingdom during 1962–1970, the rock group The Beatles released 12 studio albums, 13 EPs, and 22 singles. However, the band's international discography is complicated, due to different versions of their albums sometimes being released in other countries, particularly during their early years on Capitol Records in the United States. 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, and compact disc (CD).

Most of The Beatles' albums were released in both mono and stereo. Since mono record players were the most common at the time, The Beatles and their regular producer George Martin gave more time and attention to preparing mono mixes of their recordings. The Beatles had only involved themselves in creating the mono mixes for the first four albums; the stereo mixes were prepared without their supervision. Nevertheless, since by the late 60s, stereo record players became more common, their final 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. According to the official editions of the first four albums—i.e. mixed only in mono—these albums were released in mono. The remaining albums were then issued in stereo only. 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 met the standards achievable of 21st century techniques. From 2005, over a four-year period, the original recordings were remastered using the latest technology. Apple and EMI released these versions of The Beatles' catalogue in 2009 in mono and stereo on CD.

Albums

Studio albums

The following table includes studio albums released in multiple countries. Entries marked with a † indicate releases that are part of the official canon: the 12 original albums as released in their native UK from 1962 to 1970, and the US Magical Mystery Tour LP. Magical Mystery Tour was released as a six-song double-EP in the UK and as a longer 11-song LP in the US (which included singles and B-sides released during that year). When The Beatles' catalogue was released on CD in the 1980s, the longer US version was chosen for release and is now considered a part of their official catalogue.

Notes
  • A ^ ^ ^ ^ The original US version of this release had different tracks than the UK version. For the 1987 re-release on CD, the US track list matched the original UK track list.
  • B ^ ^ ^ ^ US sales certifications represent the total sales of the original US release and the post-1987 version with the revised track list.
  • C ^ Magical Mystery Tour, released by Parlophone on 19 November 1976, was the official UK issue of the US album which originally used the Capitol masters, which had "fake stereo" mixes for "Penny Lane", "Baby, You're a Rich Man" and "All You Need Is Love". Its re-release in 1987, which coincided with its release on compact disc, replaced the US fake stereo mixes with German mixes originally released on the Hör Zu! label in 1971. It became part of the official catalogue with its release on CD, with every track in true stereo, on 21 September 1987. As a US import, the album peaked at #31 in 1968. Continued sales of the album as an import led to this release.
  • D ^ Yellow Submarine was released by Parlophone on 17 January 1969, four days after originally being released by Capitol on 13 January 1969. Also, side two of this album, which is completely instrumental (no singing), is by George Martin, whereas side one is entirely by The Beatles.

Note: The 1962 German Polydor album My Bonnie was credited to "Tony Sheridan and the Beat Brothers." All subsequent Polydor albums credited the band as "The Beatles featuring Tony Sheridan."

Note: Past Masters, which includes all non-album tracks and singles not released on any of the 12 original UK studio albums along with the Magical Mystery Tour album, was initially released as two separate CDs on 7 March 1988, with a two-LP vinyl set combining both volumes following on 24 October 1988 in the US and 10 November 1988 in the UK. The original CDs were included in The Beatles Box Set released on 15 November 1988. A two-CD set of both volumes with two new stereo mixes was released on 9 September 2009 as part of The Beatles Remastered project. This release was included in The Beatles Stereo Box Set.

Extended plays

The following Parlophone-only released EPs were considered "official" at the time of their release and were re-issued on 7 December 1981 on vinyl and 26 May 1992 on CD in the EP Collection boxed-sets but have since been deleted from the current Beatles catalogue. All of the songs from the EPs are now available on various CD releases. Only two of the EPs contained songs that were not also featured on their albums or singles: the Long Tall Sally EP, whose tracks can now be found on the Past Masters CD, and the Magical Mystery Tour EP, whose tracks are on the Magical Mystery Tour CD album.
