Studio albums [ edit ]
The official canon of Beatles studio albums consists of the original albums as released in their native UK from 1962 to 1970. The single exception is Magical Mystery Tour , which was released as a 6-song double EP in the UK, but as a longer 11-song LP in the U.S. (the LP included singles and B-sides released during that year). When the Beatles catalogue was released on CD in the 1980s, the longer U.S. version was chosen for release and is now considered a part of their official catalogue.
