Solo Beatles


Pages on this page:

George Harrison - John Lennon - Paul McCartney - Ringo Starr


Once you've been a Beatle, there's nowhere to go but down, right? Actually, some of the post-Beatles material is excellent, and a lot of the rest of it I haven't even heard. (DBW)

The question, though, is where to start. It's hard enough just to keep the discographies straight. So rather than lump all of the Beatles' solo records onto one page as we did previously, we've now split each Beatles' catalogue onto a separate page, maintaining this one as a joint discography and master list of links. All four pages are still works in progress; there are so many solo Beatles records that it's impossible to review everything. The good news is that the discography we provide here is reasonably trustworthy, since it's based on published sources. The only thing we're worried about is the exact ordering of albums that were released in the same year; in some cases we had to guess about that.

Note: you may notice that both of us are more familiar with early- and mid-70s records than anything else. Please accept our humble apologies - and yes, we think Macca's post-Beatles work is badly under-rated.

Another note: linked titles have been reviewed and rated; unlinked titles in bold are records we haven't yet reviewed. However, the appropriate pages usually do contain some useful information about unreviewed albums. (JA)
