The Beatles' Australian releases were largely the same as their UK ones, with a few exceptions. Several unique singles were compiled - including the German language songs - as were a range of EPs in the mid 1960s. Some differences in the artwork were also made, and the catalogue numbers were different.

as a 14 year old I bought the 'MMT and other splendid hits' from the World Record Club..it even has graded circles (for treble and bass)on the back cover where you can mark in your own preferences.
I also bought the 'Essential Beatles' now in very poor condition...strange compilation (Honey Don't and 'Boys'?)
and 'Hey Jude'..would've made more sense to have 'Day Tripper' and 'We Can Work It Out' instead of 'Can't Buy Me Love' and 'I Should've Known Better'
This was all about the American market. Remember, the "Hey Jude" LP wasn't issued in the UK back then (although they eventually did issue it in the 1980's). So it was ALL about the US market didn't have. Both sides of the "Day Tripper" 45 were already issued on the US only "Yesterday and Today" LP, but both "Can't Buy Me Love" and "I Should Have Known Better" had NOT been on any US Capitol LP. They were both on the soundtrack of "A Hard Day's Night" which was issued on the "United Artists" label.
