The Beatles' American EPs (Extended Plays) were mainly released by two labels, Vee-Jay Records and Capitol Records.
Vee-Jay, the first label to release Beatles recordings in the US, released an EP called "Souvenir of Their Visit to America" ​​in 1964. This was released to commemorate The Beatles' arrival in the US.
Capitol Records, as the official label, released two EPs in 1964-1965.
These EPs mainly featured songs from existing albums, re-edited for the US market. ​However, due to limited demand for EPs in the US, Capitol Records stopped releasing EPs early. Capitol also released jukebox EPs, interview records, etc.
