COMMENTS		The first EP issued was "TWIST AND SHOUT (GEP 8882)", but this was not the first one manufactured and ready for release. The EP "THE BEATLES' HITS (GEP 8880)" was originally going to be issued in 1963 as the first EP, but was put on hold due to the great popularity of the song "Twist and Shout"; so, as an alternate EP, "TWIST AND SHOUT" was issued first instead. This E.P. contained four tracks all taken from the first L.P. "Please Please Me". Beatles own compositions were credited to "McCartney - Lennon".

COMMENTS		Beginning in 1964, Parlophone (and all the other EMI companies) began printing a phrase in the centers of all their singles, EP's and LP's, which said: SOLD IN U.K. SUBJECT TO RESALE PRICE CONDITIONS, SEE PRICE LISTS. This notice appears on the labels of every UK market EMI product, from very early 1964, right through mid-1969. BuPr Pressing = Printed by Buckland Printers They are a third printing company that EMI contracted alongside Garrod and Lofthouse specifically for the production of EP covers since the overflaps are completely different to the G & L design; they're smaller and squared off whilst the G & L overflaps are thick and rounded. The BuPr sleeves are also found on the original presses so perhaps they were contracted in because G & L's EP sleeve printers couldn't handle the huge surge in demand? Perhaps BuPr were asked to help with production during this huge increase in demand.

COMMENTS		The Beatles' 4th E.P. After the test pressings were approved, and copies were run with the promo labels on them, the printer then loaded the machines with the proper labels for the disk's standard release. Then samples were taken from possibly each press machine making the records, and affixed with a sticker (red ink on white) and checked for quality. Except for the sticker, the disk is exactly as it will be when it is released. The cover design looks like a same artwork from the album "With The Beatles" with a picture by Robert Freeman, and the sleeve notes are by Tony Barrow. Starting with "All My Loving (GEP 8891)", all the EP's, like the singles and LP's in early 1964, began carrying this statement, which was used on every other future original EP issue: "SOLD IN U.K. SUBJECT TO RESALE PRICE CONDITIONS. SEE PRICE LISTS". This phrase was used on all EMI singles, EP's and LP's until the summer of 1969. But, early commercial pressings were not printed the statement "SOLD IN U.K....". Beatles own compositions were credited to "McCartney - Lennon" (except "All My Loving").

COMMENTS		Solid center type. The 5th. pressing was with capitalized printing of "THE GRAMOPHONE CO. LTD." at the perimeter. The "Sold in U.K." text has gone from the label, and the "(P) 1963" statement. This single was manufactured two ways: both with and without the push-out center. (maybe)
