It’s hard to believe The Beatles only recorded together for seven years and only made twelve albums. How old do you feel when the Let It Be album is forty years old? Can you name the albums? In order? Here’s a cheat sheet.

These are the original U.K. albums.

  1. Please Please Me (1963)
  2. With The Beatles (1963)
  3. A Hard Day’s Night (1964)
  4. Beatles for Sale (1964)
  5. Help! (1965)
  6. Rubber Soul (1965)
