COMMENTS
 These are Australian EPs.
Starting with GEPO, which adds an "O" to the original UK catalogue number GEP, there is the 8000 series which follows the original UK release, as well as the 70000 series which is unique to Australia.
There are also some which follow the original UK release but have unique Australian jacket photos.
Furthermore, mono LP tapes are mainly used as the sound source for Australian EPs, and it is said that the only songs sent by Metal Mother from the UK were Side 2 of "The Beatles' Hits," "All My Loving," "Nowhere Man," and "Magical Mystery Tour (stereo and mono)."
All Australian EPs are Solid Centre.
All Australian EPs are 45 rpm.

Twist And Shout was the first Beatles EP released in Australia, some two months after it hit the streets in the UK.
Mastered from a copy of the UK EP, it is essentially a clone of the UK release, notwithstanding the red-tinted Parlophone logo on the front cover and the re-typeset (and edited) text on the back cover.
The label is Green Parlophone with silver lettering on a green background.
This label was only used for the first three EPs.
After that it was changed to Yellow Black Parlophone.
There is a banner with the words "EXTENDED PLAY" written underneath the Parlophone logo.
On the left center of the label are publisher's royalty stamps, including the "Robert MELLIN Limited" logo and the words "PINCUS-GIL" (Side 1) and "LEEDS MUSIC" (Side 2).
