   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.

   I am confused with the Australian release date of the "All My Loving" EP. The release is shown as 9 April 1964. However, "the original and authentic Top 40 chart" showed it as the release of the week on 16 March and it made its Top 40 debut on 20 March, peaking at #1 on 3 April.

   How can this be? Should the release date be 9 MARCH and not APRIL? Also, the single "Roll Over Beethoven/Hold Me Tight" is not listed in the singles releases.

   Any other "inaccuracies" in the discography?

     There probably are - I've covered over 40 countries and I'm sure some errors will slip through. I'm grateful to people such as yourself for pointing them out.

     I've added the ROB/HMT single - not sure how I missed that. However, I'm not sure of the precise release date of the AML EP. In the absence of anything more accurate, I'll put it as 16 March.

   What a bizarre tracklisting and sequence that "Essential Beatles" compilation has. :/

     That may be so, but it was the first Beatles record I can remember listening to.
