Capitol in the U.S. adopted the strategy of "diluting" the original UK albums over different albums, which in some instances led to some songs being completely displaced with respect to the album that originally contained them (I've Just Seen A Face beign a case in point). Also, slighly different versions of certain songs appear in the U.S. albums (e.g. the U.S. version of I'm Looking Through You includes a guitar false start which does not appear in the UK version of Rubber Soul).EMI France would publish for long so-called "extended play" 45 rpm discs including four songs.
EMI Germany had the unique privilege of publishing the Fab Four singing in the local language "Komm, gib mir dein' Hand" (I Want To Hold Your Hand") or "Sie liebt dich" (She Loves You) and generally enjoyed very good pressings (from the same pressing plant used for Electrola classical discs).
While the Boot was toured by the Beatles only once in 1965, EMI Italy had the honor of publishing an extra album entiled "Beatles in Italy" (now a highly coveted collector's item), which does not superpose with any other Fab Four album but is rather a collection of singles (e.g. This Boy, She's A Woman,...)
How the Beatles recordings were differently "packaged" for different countries could easily form the subject matter of a book.
