GENERAL EP INFORMATION
Released in the middle of the Fab Four's tour downunder, EMI (Australia) had decided that the time was right to milk the EP market with a series of local-only releases, much like they had been doing with singles.

Here, they took the first two tracks from the UK Long Tall Sally EP (although, more specifically, they sourced the tracks from a US copy of The Beatles Second Album LP, like they did much of the artwork), and added two tracks from the Please Please Me LP. Unsurprisingly, the EP hit the top of the singles charts in most cities thanks to the pull of 'Long, Tall Sally' and 'Boys'.

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). Oddly though, for this EP, both 'Long Tall Sally' and 'I Call Your Name' play in stereo. This reissue first appeared in September 1979.
