Little is known about the Beatles' cassette and 8-track cartridge releases, except for the following: All of the British cassettes were released on November 19, 1987, except for Sgt. Pepper, which was previously released on the XDR tape on June 1. The U.S. versions were released on October 31, 1987. At the bottom of this section you will see the Beatles cassette boxed sets. The individual album cassettes and the boxed sets were both released on the same days in their respective countries. You also will see continued repetition and similarities between the catalog numbers here and the ones on the LPs. There are some loop holes in this section, such as the the release of A Hard Day's Night on cassette in the U.S. non-existent and 8-track cartridge info in the UK not-available. Nonetheless, this section is essential to the Beatle discography.
