GENERAL EP INFORMATION
For the second release in the 'requests' trilogy, EMI (Australia) used the second side of the Long Tall Sally EP, which by then had arrived from Britain, and added two tracks from the With The Beatles LP.
The cover uses the same Robert Freeman photograph as the UK EP, but places it against a sandy-gradient background, with THE BEATLES printed in blue. For reasons unknown, the colour was changed to purple in 1968 (mouseover or tap above image).
As Derek Taylor's original liner notes no longer suited the altered tracklisting, they were discarded in favour of four simple head shots of the group.
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.
