Everything up to Lady Madonna (March 1968) was on Parlophone; Hey Jude onwards was on Apple. The fan site aboutthebeatles.com lists the same 22 and adds nine post-break-up singles from 1976 to 2023, the last being Now and Then, which reached No. 1 in the UK and No. 7 in the US.

The first US Beatles singles were spread across several labels before and alongside Capitol. The Beatlesagain US singles chronology gives these dates and catalogue numbers:

• My Bonnie / The Saints — Decca 31382, 23 April 1962
• Please Please Me / Ask Me Why — Vee-Jay VJ 498, 25 February 1963
• From Me to You / Thank You Girl — Vee-Jay VJ 522, 27 May 1963
• She Loves You / I'll Get You — Swan 4152, 16 September 1963
• I Want to Hold Your Hand / I Saw Her Standing There — Capitol 5112, 13 January 1964
• Twist and Shout / There's a Place — Tollie 9001, 2 March 1964
• Can't Buy Me Love / You Can't Do That — Capitol 5150, 16 March 1964
• Love Me Do / P.S. I Love You — Tollie 9008, 27 April 1964

Note the different B-side on the US I Want to Hold Your Hand: in the UK it was This Boy (Parlophone R 5084). Love Me Do, which stalled at No. 17 in the UK in 1962, went to No. 1 in the US on Tollie in 1964 (Wikipedia, Love Me Do). In the week of 4 April 1964 the Beatles held twelve places on the Billboard Hot 100, including the top five (Wikipedia, The Beatles).

The first Beatles single exists in two recordings, and the label colour tells you which one you have. Early pressings on the red Parlophone label carry the 4 September 1962 recording with Ringo Starr on drums and no tambourine. Later pressings on the black Parlophone label carry the 11 September re-recording with session drummer Andy White on drums and Ringo on tambourine; that is also the version on the Please Please Me album (Wikipedia, Love Me Do).

So a red-label Love Me Do is the earlier and more sought-after single. Play the opening: if you hear a tambourine, it is the Andy White version. Record Collector's Rare Record Price Guide 2026 values a demo copy of Love Me Do (45-R 4949) with McCartney misspelt "McArtney" at £6,000 (as listed by Record Collector, 12 February 2025).

Most are not, because they sold in the millions: the Beatles hold the record for the most singles sold in the UK, 21.9 million (Wikipedia, The Beatles), and Hey Jude alone is certified 4× Platinum by the RIAA in Wikipedia's singles table. A played stock copy of a No. 1 single is a common record.

The singles that are worth money are the ones that were never meant for sale in quantity. From Record Collector's top 10 Beatles items in its Rare Record Price Guide (article dated 12 February 2025, 2026 edition values):

• Love Me Do / P.S. I Love You, Parlophone 45-R 4949, demo copy with "McArtney" misprint — £6,000
• Our First Four, Apple presentation pack of four 7-inch singles including Hey Jude (R 5722), August 1968 — £4,000
• Please Please Me / Ask Me Why, Parlophone 45-R 4983, demo copy — £2,000

If you have a Beatles single, check four things in this order: the label colour and design, the catalogue number, whether it says demonstration or promotional, and the runout codes. Then grade it on the vinyl grading scale. Our rare 45 records page covers the same checks for other artists.
