20 Greatest Hits was a compilation album featuring a selection of songs by The Beatles that were number ones in the UK and US. It was released on 11 October 1982 in the United States and one week later in the United Kingdom.
20 Greatest Hits was released to mark the 20th anniversary of The Beatles' first record release, "Love Me Do," in the UK in 1962; it was the last Beatles album to be released with variations in the US and UK versions (some Beatles hits in the US were not released as singles in the UK, such as "Eight Days a Week" and "Yesterday").
For the US album, catalogue number SV 12245, a five-minute edited version of "Hey Jude" was used due to time constraints; this edited version dates from 1968 when it was created for use by Capitol Records on the four-inch flexi "Pocket Discs" that were sold in vending machines at that time. The US cassette release, not constrained by the limits of LPs, contains the normal seven-minute version.
The American version of this LP was released in Canada, although the track list does not reflect the number ones from that country, as "Can't Buy Me Love" only reached #3 on the CHUM singles charts, and omits the Canadian #1 hits "All My Loving" and "This Boy."
The New Zealand version was the same as the American one although originally EMI(NZ) was going to issue the UK version.The covers were printed in New Zealand but the inner sleeve was imported from the U.S.
The original issues of this album accidentally indicates the running time of "Yesterday" as being 1:04 in length. Later issues have the correct 2:04 running time.
The later album 1 included 27 Beatles songs that were number one on either side of the Atlantic.
