Beatles for Sale - The Beatles
1964, December.
They actually did try to release two albums a year, I guess, from 1963 until at least 1965-- six in all of those, in three years, in the other five years, eight.

Help! - The Beatles
1965, August.
The other album that they released later in the year.... doesn't quite go with these others.

LIST IS WORK IN PROGRESS.
One might almost call them the British albums. :)
That is, the first five Beatles albums which they released in Britain, on the Parlophone label, from (March) 1963 to (August) 1965: "Please Please Me" (1963), "With the Beatles" (1963), "A Hard Day's Night" (1964), "Beatles for Sale" (1964), and "Help!" (1965).
It's really rather confusing and irritating to try to keep track of the stupid adaptions released by Capitol in what was for them overseas....
From the point of view of the art more simply, it is more interesting what they did when they were at home in Liverpool, so to speak. Later they learned to feel more at home in London, but, that's a different story.... Well, actually even the albums rather before "Abbey Road", (all of them) were recorded there.... but, you'll know what I mean-- I think that they spent more time in the studio in 1969, than 1964.... As musicians they made art, but, sometimes in a *difficult* way, there's this other story that "shadows", (and, in a way, not *at all* like a rival!), the art and.... they were not always comforted by the mania of the world-- even in the beginning.
Anyway-- this is what I interpret as being roughly equivalent to the "Early Beatles", or, at least-- their work.
