Elsewhere down the chart, other Beatles positions were:
29. Past Masters Volume 1 and 2
32. Revolver
36. Rubber Soul
45. Let It Be
53. A Hard Days Night
55. Help
56. Magical Mystery Tour
65. 1 (not a remaster)
74. Please Please Me

84. With The Beatles
The stereo box set also sold 105 units, confirming retailer anguish that Australia was shirt-changed on stock of the box.
