Legend:

* = Highest position reached/Weeks in chart (source: Australian Music Report)

NA = Reliable album charts did not exist prior to 1965


Notes:

  • Only includes reissues where they have been specifically promoted by the distributor (usually such reissues are given a new catalogue number or some change in packaging). This means that LP re-pressings that simply occurred throughout an album's existence are not included.
  • With the exception of Magical Mystery Tour And Other Splendid Hits, cassette, 8 track cartridge and reel-to-reel tape releases (where the release date differs to the corresponding LP or CD release) and reissues are not included as they were generally not specifically promoted. The list includes the cartridge, cassette and reel-to-reel tape releases for Magical Mystery Tour And Other Splendid Hits as they were promoted by the respective distributor (World Record/Cartridge/Cassette/Tape Club and EMI (Australia)).
  • Only includes imports where they have been specifically promoted by the local distributor. This means that general titles included in EMI (Australia)'s catalogue—largely reel-to-reel tape and cassette titles not produced locally—are not included. To elaborate, in the late 1960's and early 1970's most EMI UK and Capitol US Beatles cassettes and reel-to-reel tapes were included in EMI (Australia)'s catalogue; they are not included here.
  • 'Various Artist' compilations that contain Beatles track(s) are not included.

Notes:

  • See 'Chart Performance' page for Australian singles chart performance data.
  • Only includes reissues where they have been specifically promoted by the distributor. This means that EP re-pressings that simply occurred throughout an EP's existence are not included.
  • Many EPs have different track listings to the corresponding UK releases. These EPs, and EPs unique to Australia, have catalogue numbers in the local 70000 series. Previous UK supplied mono LP tapes or vinyl were generally used for these releases.
  • In Dec 1978, EMI (Australia) deleted all EPs from their catalogue. In Jun 1979 the 70000 series was recut. These new cuts would appear in late Sep 1979, when the 70000 series was again made available.
