Are you trying to find out what they would sell for? If so you can go to discogs.com and look up each of them using the catalogue number and other relevant information. Without that information it's impossible to tell what you actually have.
Sometimes the catalogue information isn't enough; numerous albums have the same number for multiple pressings so you have to look at things like the labels, jacket, runout matrix (those numbers, letters and symbols etched or stamped into the part around the label on the record).
There's a lot more to identifying records than a lot of people realize. It may take a little while to determine which pressings you have but it's worth the effort in the end. When you find out which pressings you have most of the time there is also a box near the upper right on that particular page (the page for THAT pressing that says buy this music). Click on that and you can get a good idea of what people expect for that particular pressing.

First thanks for the information. Much appreciated. its not the money I am a 3 Dollar man at the record shows and I have learned that patience is the key. Decades has allowed me to have 2000 old blues, its the sound that grabs me always has been. But I do enjoy learning and you are right there is a lot to lps. One day a guy was working on my TT and he played a Beatles lp then he said listen to this it was a parlaphone label and the differance in sound was so impressive he said you ever run accross one of these cheap buy it. More then enough space on your site.
Appreciated,
If you want to know about the Beatles on vinyl go to the URL below. This is about all of the UK original albums. Parlophone black and yellow labels are the most desirable for the titles that you list. Black and silver labels are also good although the 1988-2011 pressings were, I think, cut from the digital masters used for the first CD issues(can anyone confirm?) and can be identified by the lack of a flipback cover. A flipback cover is where it was assembled with the back showing glued card tabs. These later issues are not the best from a vinyl collector's viewpoint.
The Beatles album catalogue was remastered in stereo on vinyl in 2012. A mono remastering came out in 2014 but is only available as a complete box set. The latter is reckoned by many to be the the best sounding of all.
I cannot add much about the Australian release that you cite. Many EMI Australia LPs were pressed from metalwork supplied from the UK parent company so , everything else being equal, should be good. However I don't know if that was the case for the Beatles.
Astan was a Swiss label. Looking at their ctalogue, the titles that make up their albums and the cover artwork it loooks to me like a "knock off" label i.e. not necessarily licensed from the original rights owners. Perhaps available due to an anomally on Swiss copyright law by international standards?
