[[Parlophone]] issued ''With the Beatles'' on 22 November 1963, eight months to the day after ''Please Please Me'', with the catalogue number PMC 1206.{{sfn|Lewisohn|1988|p=37}} The album became the first Beatles album released in North America when it was released in Canada on 25 November 1963 under the augmented title ''Beatlemania! With the Beatles'', with additional text on the album cover, and issued only in mono at the time, catalogue number T 6051 (a stereo Canadian release would come in 1968, catalogue number ST 6051). For the United States release, the original running order of ''With the Beatles'' was unevenly split over the group's first two Capitol albums: nine tracks were issued on ''[[Meet the Beatles!]]'' (the eight original compositions plus "Till There Was You"), while the remaining five songs, all cover versions, were placed on ''[[The Beatles' Second Album]]''.

The LP had advance orders of a half million and sold another half million by September 1965, making it the second album to sell a million copies in the United Kingdom, after [[South Pacific (soundtrack)|the soundtrack]] to the 1958 film ''[[South Pacific (1958 film)|South Pacific]]''.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://widescreenmovies.org/WSM11/spos.htm |title=Wide Screen Movies Magazine |publisher=Widescreenmovies.org |access-date=13 August 2011| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20130606064125/http://www.widescreenmovies.org/WSM11/spos.htm | archive-date = 6 June 2013| url-status=live}}</ref> ''With the Beatles'' remained at the top of the charts for 21 weeks, displacing ''Please Please Me'', so that the Beatles occupied the top spot for 51 consecutive weeks. It even reached number 11 in the "singles charts" (because at the time UK charts counted all records sold, regardless of format). No other group or singer has achieved 51 consecutive weeks at number 1 in the album charts. However, the soundtrack for ''South Pacific'' did achieve 70 consecutive weeks at number one in the album charts.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/albums-with-the-most-weeks-at-number-1-on-the-official-albums-chart__23234/ |title=Albums with the most weeks at Number 1 |website=[[OfficialCharts.com]] |access-date=16 June 2020 |archive-date=15 June 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200615052720/https://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/albums-with-the-most-weeks-at-number-1-on-the-official-albums-chart__23234/ |url-status=live}}</ref> Reviewing the album on release for ''[[Record Mirror]]'', Peter Jones hailed ''With the Beatles'' as an improvement over ''Please Please Me'', praising the covers and originals, particularly Harrison's "Don't Bother Me".<ref name="RM Jones">{{cite magazine |last=Jones |first=Peter |title=The Beatles: ''With The Beatles'' (Parlophone) |url=https://www.rocksbackpages.com/Library/Article/the-beatles-iwith-the-beatlesi-parlophone |magazine=[[Record Mirror]] |date=9 November 1963 |access-date=1 May 2022 |via=Rock's Backpages {{subscription required}}}}</ref>

On 26 February 1987, ''With the Beatles'' was officially released on compact disc (in mono only, catalogue number CDP 7 46436 2). Having been available only as an import in the US in the past, the album was also issued domestically in the US on LP and cassette on 21 July 1987. Along with the rest of the Beatles' canon, it was re-released on CD in newly re-mastered [[The Beatles (The Original Studio Recordings)|stereo]] and [[The Beatles in Mono|mono]] versions on 9 September 2009.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.musicradar.com/news/guitars/remastered-beatles-albums-confirmed-for-9-september-202578 |title=Remastered Beatles Albums Confirmed for 9 September |date=7 April 2009|access-date=29 July 2021}}</ref>
