| The Beatles were an English rock band from
Liverpool who recorded hundreds of songs during their
career. The group's "main catalogue"—songs released
between 1962 and 1970—consists of 213 songs (four of which
exist in different versions): 188 originals and 25 covers.
Since their break-up, over 100 more songs by the group
have been officially released, including live songs the
group never recorded in the studio and numerous outtakes.
The band also recorded several songs that remain
unreleased. Between 1963 and 1966, the Beatles' songs were released on different albums in the United Kingdom and the United States. In the UK, 30 songs were released as non-album singles, while appearing on numerous albums in the US. Since the remastering of the band's catalogue on CDs in the 1980s, the Beatles have a primary "core catalogue" of 14 albums: (from Wikipedia) Original Beatles Sheet Music Collecting Beatles sheet music has become very popular, and to some collectors. Many of the sheets contain photos exclusive to that particular release, further enhancing their desirability. Like picture sleeves and other collectibles, original copies are always more in demand. The following is a history and list of the 150+ known original titles of Beatles sheet music issued in the U.K., starting in 1962. A complete U.K. sheet music/songbook collection would comprise over 200 pieces, not including countless variations and reissues. Common sheet music titles were printed in 8-1/2" x 11" format. Publishing companies include: Northern Songs and Ardmore & Beachwood, to name a few. Many more variations of sheet music exist, including issues with different colors, different illustrations, different prices, and even song credit variations. |
|
| The catalogue also includes the 1988
compilation album Past
Masters, which collected 25 of the
Beatles' 30 non-album singles, along with the 1964 EP Long
Tall Sally and other rarities that were
commercially available in the 1960s. |
