The Beatles Brazilian Discography

Compilations and Late Issues - 1970-1984


Compilations

Note: Hey Jude was released before Let It Be.

Late Issues


Notes:

All of these albums were issued in stereo vinyl LP and (after 1976) cassette.
As a rule, stereo mixes were used every time, unless they doesn't exist or were unavailable - in this case, mock stereo versions were used. The exception are the Rarities albums that use mono mixes for many songs.

The 1984 album The Beatles, a reissue of A Collection of Beatles' Oldies, was not released by EMI Odeon, but by Som Livre, an independent label specialized in compilations. It features a new gatefold cover with lyrics. This album was sold only for a short time.

The "late issues" were released in October 1975 and replaced the Brazilian albums issued in the 60's (Beatlemania, The Beatles Again, The Beatles (65) and the Brazilian Help!). These "late issues" have translated sleeve notes and only mention the date of the UK release, not the Brazilian release.

Availability:

None of this albums (except maybe 20 Greatest Hits) is being manufactured today in its original form.

The "late issues", which completed the official collection of original Beatles albums, were this way in print until 1988, being then replaced by their remastered versions.

Most of the compilations were also produced and easily found along with the original albums until 1988. But when the CDs were released, EMI "banned" the Beatles' compilations worldwide and they were then discontinued. However, 1962-1966 and 1967-1970 resurfaced in 1993 on remastered CDs.

Rock And Roll Music, Live At The Hollywood Bowl, "Rarities" (UK) and Rarities (US) had worse luck: they were probably discontinued years before, since they weren't easily found in 1988 as the others.
