Worldwide, the English rock group the Beatles released 21 studio albums, 5 live albums, 54 compilation albums, 36 extended play singles, 63 singles, 17 box sets, 22 video albums and 68 music videos. The early albums and singles released from 1962 to 1967 were originally on Parlophone, and their albums from 1968 to 1970 were on their subsidiary label Apple. In their native United Kingdom, they released 12 studio albums, 13 extended plays (EPs), including one double EP, and 22 singles. Their UK discography is considered the "core catalogue", as it contains the albums, EPs and singles released the way the band intended. Although their output has come to include vault items, remixed mash-ups and anniversary box-sets, the band's "core catalogue" comprises 213 songs.

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. In some cases, the US version would be an entirely different album with different tracks, cover photos and liner notes. The first seven British Beatles albums were converted into ten LPs for the American market, adding material from singles and the UK EPs. 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. They released five tracks that are different versions of previously released songs: "Love Me Do", "Revolution", "Get Back", "Across the Universe" and "Let It Be"; two tracks in German: "Komm, Gib Mir Deine Hand" and "Sie Liebt Dich"; and two tracks that are duplicates of songs included on previous albums but also included on the album Yellow Submarine: "Yellow Submarine" and "All You Need Is Love".

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, originally gave more time and attention to preparing the mono mixes of their recordings. The Beatles had involved themselves in creating only the mono mixes for the first four albums; the stereo mixes were prepared without their supervision. However, because by the late 1960s 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 first released on CD in 1987 and 1988. The first four albums were released in mono only, while the remaining albums were issued in stereo only. However, the sound of the digital transfers of the discs, produced by Martin using the best equipment available during the early days of the format, no longer meets the standards achievable with 21st-century techniques. Thus, from 2005 to 2009, the original recordings were remastered using the latest technology, and Apple and EMI released this version of the Beatles' catalogue on CD on 9 September 2009 in mono and stereo.

With the first CD releases of their albums, the Beatles' core catalogue was harmonised worldwide to encompass their original UK studio albums released in 1963–1970, the 1967 US Magical Mystery Tour LP and the Past Masters compilation, the latter two of which include the recordings released in 1962–1970 that are not present on the UK albums (mainly non-album singles and B-sides). 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.

"—" denotes that the recording did not chart or was not released in that territory.

Notes

  1. The original release of "My Bonnie" was credited to "Tony Sheridan and the Beat Brothers".
  2. 2.0 2.1 Tollie Records was a subsidiary of VeeJay
  3. The first pressings of Introducing... the Beatles included "Love Me Do" and "P.S. I Love You." After Capitol subsidiary Beechwood Music took legal action, the songs were replaced by "Ask Me Why" and "Please Please Me."
  4. 4.0 4.1 4.2 4.3 4.4 4.5 4.6 4.7 The single was only released in select European territories.
  5. The single was intended for export, but some retailers sold it in the UK anyway. It did not chart there and is not considered an "official" UK single.
  6. 6.0 6.1 6.2 Under the revised 1967 contract, Capitol agreed to release the unaltered UK versions of Beatles albums; these joint releases span both columns in this table. Capitol however continued to create additional albums from singles, EP tracks, and previously unused album tracks, specifically Magical Mystery Tour and Hey Jude.
  7. 7.0 7.1 7.2 A different version of the song was released on the Let It Be album.
  8. Billboard "Chart Beat" writer Fred Bronson affirms that "Come Together" and "Something" combined to hold the number-one position on the Hot 100, while another recognised author, Joel Whitburn, shows "Something" at number three, its highest position prior to the titles being combined halfway through the record's chart run.
  9. "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" and "With a Little Help from My Friends" were released as a medley on side A with "A Day in the Life" on the B-side. In some European countries, the B-side was "Within You Without You".[58]
  10. "Baby It's You" was released as a CD maxi single with the tracks "I'll Follow the Sun", "Devil in Her Heart" and "Boys". These live versions of "I'll Follow the Sun" and "Boys" were later released on On Air – Live at the BBC Volume 2.
  11. "Free as a Bird" was released as a CD maxi single with the additional tracks "I Saw Her Standing There" and "This Boy".
  12. "Real Love" was released as a CD maxi single with the additional tracks "Yellow Submarine" and "Here, There and Everywhere".
  13. This live version of "Baby's in Black" was later released on Live at the Hollywood Bowl.

Flexi discs[edit]

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.

Other appearances[edit]

The Beatles notably very rarely appear on compilation albums with other artists.
