Worldwide, the British ] band ] released 12 ] (17 in the US), 5 ], 51 ], 36 ]s (EPs), and 17 ]s. 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 ], and their albums from August 1968 to 1970 were on their subsidiary label ]. Their output also includes vault items, remixed mash-ups and anniversary box-sets.
==Historical background==
The first four Beatles ] albums differ based on their location of release. Those released in the ] were of lower sound quality and had some of their songs omitted. Additionally, even though the first four Beatles albums were originally released as both monaural and stereo recordings in the ], stereo record players were quite rare in the UK at the time. Naturally, then, ] and the Beatles spent more time on the mono mixes. Many early songs were later remastered by ] for the U.S. as artificial stereo with bass on one side and treble on the other side, with lots of added echo. However, this was only done when the stereo mix of the song was not available or did not exist, as in the case of ]. The Capitol release of '']'', however, has gained a lot of fans in the years since the release of the British albums on CD. The additions of "I've Just Seen a Face" and "It's Only Love" from "Help!" and the omission of "Drive My Car," "Nowhere Man," "What Goes On," and "If I Needed Someone" gives the album a different, folky flavour.


The Beatles are the biggest selling band of all time, selling over 500 million records.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Duran |first=Anagricel |date=2024-05-14 |title=Ringo Starr says The Beatles would have made far fewer records had it not been for "workaholic" Paul McCartney |url=https://www.nme.com/news/music/ringo-starr-says-the-beatles-would-have-made-far-fewer-records-had-it-not-been-for-workaholic-paul-mccartney-3756184 |access-date=2024-05-18 |website=NME |language=en-GB |quote=The Beatles are the biggest selling band of all time, selling over 500 million records.}}</ref> 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 '']'' album and the newly assembled '']'' 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, ] 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 ]' ]. This core catalogue contains all 217 tracks{{efn|The musicologist ] 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).

When it came time to release the Beatles' catalogue on ], the decision was made to use the original British versions of the albums, since those were the "the way the Beatles originally intended them to be". The initial releases of the first four CDs were of the original mono mixes. In ], ] released the first four American albums on CD as a ] and they represent the current (as of 2006) official stereo versions<!--]-->. No official stereo mix of the first four British albums had been released on compact disc, but there were plenty of "official looking" ] CDs in circulation that include the U.S. stereo mixes and even bear the "]" logo. Martin and the Beatles started to spend more time on stereo mixes by ]. However, many fans believe that the mono versions of ''Revolver'', ''Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band'', and the ''White Album'' are superior to the stereo mixes.


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 ] ]. 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 '']'' 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 "]" and the album '']'' (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 sound of the digital transfers of the current discs, produced by George Martin in ] and ] using the best equipment available during the early days of the format, no longer meet standards achievable using current techniques in ], ], and others. The sound on the remastered catalogues of ], the ], and the ], among other heavyweights from the ], have been greatly enhanced utilising technological developments that have occured since Martin's initial digital mastering, and as of ], similar work for the Beatles is long overdue.


The Beatles' discography was originally released on the ] format, with full-length ] (LPs), shorter EPs and singles. Over the years, the collection has also been released on ], ], ] (CD), on a ] in ] and 24-bit ] 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 ] and ] versions.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Boilen |first1=Bob |title=Mono Or Stereo: Which Beatles Box Is Better? |url=https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=112652937 |website=] |access-date=1 February 2020 |date=8 September 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191026041832/https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=112652937 |archive-date=26 October 2019 |url-status=live }}</ref> The band's catalogue was remastered in both mono and stereo in 2009.<ref>{{cite news |last=Eccleston |first=Danny |title=Beatles Remasters Reviewed |work=] |date=9 September 2009 |url=https://www.mojo4music.com/blog/2009/09/beatles_remasters_reviewed.html |access-date=13 October 2009 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091007072418/https://www.mojo4music.com/blog/2009/09/beatles_remasters_reviewed.html |archive-date=7 October 2009}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |last1=Roberts |first1=Randall |title=Review: Is 'The Beatles in Mono' necessary?

However, many Beatles enthusiasts feel that the current EMI CD releases of the albums do not do them justice for different reasons. Since the music was mastered to be played on vinyl, the cutting and playback of which is widely believed to add 'warmth' to the recording, the current CDs are not able to compensate for the different medium. Given how important the sound quality of these albums was not only to the Beatles and George Martin, but also from a historical point of view, many purists still listen to Beatles albums only on vinyl.


==Albums==
It was reported in January and February of ] that the entire UK catalogue had been remastered, and would be re-released in the first half of the year to commemorate the 40th anniversary of ''Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band'' on ], ]. The aforementioned album will also be released in a box set with both stereo and mono mixes, as well as possibly a 5.1 ] mix. These releases may also be offered on ], marking the first time the Beatles' music will be available online.<ref></ref><ref></ref>

The Beatles albums discography
The Beatles members Ringo Starr, Paul McCartney, John Lennon and George Harrison in 1965
Studio albums12 (UK), 17 (US)
EPs36
Live albums5
Compilation albums51
Mash-ups2
Box sets17

Worldwide, the British rock band the Beatles released 12 studio albums (17 in the US), 5 live albums, 51 compilation albums, 36 extended plays (EPs), and 17 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. 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 intended for commercial release, either as album tracks, EP tracks, or singles, that were put out by the Beatles from 1962 to 1970.

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. The band's catalogue was remastered in both mono and stereo in 2009.

Flexi discs

Main article: The Beatles' Christmas records

The Beatles released seven consecutive Christmas records on flexi disc for members of their UK and US fan clubs, from 1963 to 1969, ranging in length between 3:58 and 7:48. These short collections had a mix of spoken and musical messages for their official fan clubs.

Notes

  1. 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.
