COMMENTS		Reissue of #4-10. The 3rd. label change was the expiration of Toshiba's contract with Apple, resulting in the discontinuance of the Apple label. Toshiba had already begun use of the new EMI/Odeon label as early as 1976 on certain new releases not covered under the Apple label. By the early 1980's, the EMI/Odeon label had completely supplanted the Apple label on all Beatles releases. When the record label change, the EMI/Odeon logo also replaced the Apple logo on the front sleeves of all records. Toshiba EMI made duophonic mixes for the nine songs that had no stereo masters at the time the EPs were compiled. "I Want To Hold Your Hand", "She Loves You", "Long Tall Sally", Match Box", "Slow Down", "Sie Liebt Dich", "Paperback Writer", "Strawberry Fields Forever" and "Penny Lane" are effective simulated stereo mixes.
