Unlike in the USA where Capitol released Beatles singles in colourful picture sleeves. British 45's, with 2 exceptions came in Parlophone company sleeves. But unlike America where EP releases failed to ignite the imagination of teenage record buyers. UK fans were gifted 13 EP releases presented in colourful, laminated picture sleeves.

Join us this week as we take a Magical Mystery Tour through The Beatles UK EP releases. We discuss why EP's were an important tool in EMI's commercial exploitation of The Beatles catalogue. The music which was released exclusively on EP. The EP's which never reach the public and where you can find this music today.

So make a cup of coffee, pull up a chair, relax and tune-in to this edition of Fixing A Hole. The Beatles podcast you didn't know you needed.

If you’re a fan of the podcast, or you like to be a guest on an episode, we’d love to hear from you.
