Collection of the Beatles' music media
manufactured in the U.K.
U.K. Press


This page introduces a collection of various music media released in the UK, the Beatles' home country. The Beatles debuted on Parlophone, a label under EMI, but labels such as Polydor and Lingasong are also introduced here.
Feature original pressings from when the Beatles were still active, as well as recent compilations, commemorative and limited editions, as well as test pressings and promotional records.
I also introduce a wide range of media other than records, such as Christmas flexi discs released by the fan club, cassette tapes, 8-tracks, and sheet music, e.t.c.
I have tried to collect as many variations of each item as possible from each era, and arranged them in order of release.
Jackets, records, sleeves, lyric sheets, etc. are presented in the combinations that were released at the time, to the extent that I can.
I hope this will be helpful for your collection.
