The Beatles’ records in Yugoslavia were issued on the government-owned Jugoton label. The first, a version of the UK’s A Collection Of Beatles Oldies LP, was released in 1967; prior to that residents of the country had to rely on imports.

Los Beatles!Amazing and cute.I am so …that so many people have culture amnesia….I still remember my first listening to their`s album and dancing and dream to have band.I was 9 and there were no ism in air:)
This is not very accurate information by pinio65, since I remember these times quite well, being born in 1949 and living in Belgrade. First, Help EP was never legitimate import and it was never on sale in the regular record shops, but in “commissions”, shops where everybody was able to put on sale his/her private belongings. Help! was extremely popular song because of the movie that was in the theaters, but no way that there were many copies sold because French Eps were never cheap, compared to German Odeon singles. Same goes to German Revolver LP, I have never seen it in any shop In Yugoslavia ever!
And Let It Be was released by Yugoton together with the big book at the price of the regular LP!
I have never been able to confirm an early issue of Hey Jude in Yugoslavia, with LPSV-P catalog number. I suspect it does not exist. Interestingly, the first copies of Abbey Road definitely were issued with the LPSV-P catalog number (generally indicating a Parlophone/Jugoton release), but it was issued on Apple labels. The last of the original Yugoslavia LPs, Let It Be, then returned to the black & yellow Parlophone label.
Rubber soul was also released in Yugoslavia
