the Singles

as in the previous page, the lead guitar part was

nearly always George, on the singles issued by

find here the exceptions and/or the guitar used.(when known)

Singles issued by Parlophone were usually NOT included in album releases, it wasn't until Yellow Submarine that a single duplicated an album track. In some cases the song was the same but a different version was issued for each format.

As before all release dates are British unless otherwise noted.

Various other U.S. labels released singles, such as VeeJay, Swan, & Tollie.

Many of these were duplicates of Parlophone releases in Britain, as well as some older recordings (pre-Ringo even)

 This page will not include any of these. Rather only Parlophone & Capital U.S. releases.
