GENERAL EP INFORMATION
Released in February 1965, the next unique-to-Australia EP was actually a harvest of tracks that dated back a year to With The Beatles. With only seven tracks left from that album that hadn't been released on 45, EMI chose what they felt were perhaps the best four to bring together, with artwork essentially the same as the album.

The liner notes on the rear are an edited extract of the notes written for the album by Tony Barrow (here uncredited).

Despite not troubling any chart compilers, the EP remained in print until December 1978. In June 1979, it, along with all unique-to-Australia 70000-series Beatles EPs, were recut and reissued with updated artwork. For the recut, EMI (Australia) went back to stereo tapes but mastered in mono, the reason being to 'maintain the feel of the original sound' (more accurately they had temporarily lost the original mono EP tape—PARLO 99—that contained all the EP tracks in glorious mono). This reissue first appeared in September 1979.
