Electrola, EMI’s West German counterpart, released its first Beatles record in March 1963. For the most part the singles were the same as the UK releases, although several unique German 45s did emerge.
Albums were less standardised, with a number of compilations released especially for the German market. Some of these were by the weekly TV and radio magazine Hörzu.
In communist East Germany (the former GDR) far fewer Beatles songs were officially released by the government-owned Amiga label; just three albums of note were issued, along with just two singles.
It is well known that The Beatles did their first professional recordings in Hamburg, and the Tony Sheridan songs were reissued a number of times in Germany. Odeon was also responsible for The Beatles’ only German-language recordings, versions of ‘She Loves You’ (Sie Liebt Dich) and ‘I Want To Hold Your Hand’ (‘Komm, Gib Mir Deine Hand’).

You’re missing one of the East German releases, so there must have been at least 4 LPs.
It’s Amiga Stereo 8 55 742 – a version of 1967-1970 on one LP (14 tracks).
If you want a track listing and/or a scan of the cover, just contact me.
Thanks Mikkel. The discographies generally go no further than 1970 (otherwise it becomes an endless task), so this compilation wouldn’t feature.
I have a with the beatles CD released in West germany, only 100 made, in a rosewood case can anyone tell me anythhing about this, I also have A hard days night in same kind of case, but made in england

Hi! In my youth back around 1970 I had a Beatles-abum which I cannot remember what was named. The only thing I for sure remember is that this album was somewhat strange, cause it had both all the songs from the Hamburg-period + the first Parlophone-singles, mixed together on both sides, Both Please please me, I want to hold Your hand, From me to you and Thank you girl were present on the record inbetween Ain’t she sweet, Take out som einsurence…and all those others.
I can vaguely remember that the label was kind of Orange and white, as the German bargainlabel- “Europa”, but cannot remember how the cover looked like, not even colours. But I believe that the album probably was a german release. Do you have any idea of this strange album combining borht Polydor and EMI-songs???
Hope you can give me a reply to this 😉
Cheers from Norway
Johnny
I’ve just bought a DDR reissue in the market by the Pergamon Museum in Berlin. A mix of Polydor and EMI tracks as you described. On the Amiga label with sleeve notes by Peter Wicke. Cover has Ringo banging a military drum, Paul with bagpipes etc. It’s just called The Beatles.

Hi
You give the stereo number for THE BEATLES’ BEAT as STO 83 692 and SMO 83 692.
Those release would have had the red, white, and gold stereo labels on the disc but I have never nor do I know anyone that has ever seen that stereo version. If you have s copy please post a picture of the side A and B labels,
I would like to see them

Hi have a german test pressing with 66 release date revolver do you know much about these i have this in storage so i dont have it with me
You do not mention « The Beatles’ First » LP, the Polydor compilation of all the Hamburg recordings (+four other Sheridan songs). I’m trying to find the release date. All I can find is April ’64. Any Idea ?
Isn’t the cover for Skinny Minny the 1978 release ?
