Reel Tapes (1967-1970)

As a general rule for Canadian Beatles reel tapes, both the tapes and boxes were manufactured in Canada, but slicks were often made by using US artwork. The best way to distinguish the Canadian pressings from the US issues is the color of the box: Canada always used WHITE cardboard boxes, while the USA used either BROWN or BLUE boxes.

Cassette Tapes (1968-1995)

Cassette tapes were introduced in Canada as late as the fall of 1968 or early 1969. Cassettes could/would have been imported from the USA prior to this. There appears to be eight main series of cassette tapes produced in Canada between 1968 and 1993: Blue Spine, Black spine, Light Bue Spine, Black and Yellow, Black and Yellow SDR, Light Blue SDR, color Inlay (5 series) and Modern Apple tapes, all of which have their own "sub-variations".

Compact Discs (1989-Present)

Canada started pressing Beatles compact discs in 1989, as the "official" Beatles catalogue was being standardized through the CLJ and CD series. Early copies were pressed by Disque Americ and CINRAM, while later copies were pressed by EMI, before differing to Cinram again until today. Keep in mind that throughout these pressing periods, CDs were also sporadically imported from the US and the EU to meet demand, instead of being locally made.
