Notes:

Only includes reissues where they have been specifically promoted by the distributor. This means that single re-pressings that simply occurred throughout a single's existence are not included.
Deletions: A8117: Jun 1967; A8080: Dec 1967; A8113, A8125: Jun 1968; A8107, A8163 through A8203: Dec 1968; A8123: Dec 1969. By Jul 1974 only A8143 and A8213 through A-9163 were in print.
'Let It Be' was the only title to appear in stereo on an Australian Beatles single until Jul 1976.
On 19 Jul 1976, six of the original Parlophone singles were reissued with new cuts (marked *), predominantly in stereo or fake stereo. In Oct 1982, 11 more singles were recut in stereo (marked **) and released as part of the 20th Anniversary Singles Collection release.
On 7 Dec 1987, EMI (Australia) reissued A8080, A8107, A8113, A8117, A8123, A8125, A8163, A8173, A8183, A8193 and A8203.
For reasons unknown (presumably oversight), the 3” CD release of 'A Hard Day's Night' / 'Things We Said Today' was not listed in EMI (Australia)'s release schedule.
Outside of the scope of this discography but worthy of mention is that on 11 Nov 1991 EMI (Australia) released the Cassingle Box Set (TCBSCX 1), comprising the 22 (UK-config) singles in cassette format.
