    I like the idea of including the scrapped Yellow Submarine EP. And I too like that cover that you showed. However, I don't think the box set should be limited to the UK EP's. There are many great EP's from around the world that should be included. Either for their song selections or their covers. Much like they did for the recent vinyl singles box set.

    I've never heard the sound quality of the original EP's since we didn't have them in the U.S. I own a copy of the Record Store Day 'Long Tall Sally'; not sure if its sound measures up to the original. I would definitely pay extra for an EP box that was a 100% faithful reproduction of the original. We can only hope that happens. The sound quality of the Singles Box is superb indeed. Thanks for putting the word out there about another much-needed Beatles release (or should I say re-release)! Take care.

    If they really wanted to, they could add the full, 12" singles of Baby It's You, Free as a Bird and Real Love. Baby It's you especially has been mistaken for an EP. It's also give the chance to reissue the anthology edits, which have been out of print since the anthology happened almost 25 years ago. The Yellow Submarine from the Real Love single was reissued for the Revolver boxset, but everything else (besides the a-side itself) has been forgotten about and never released on an LP nor on digital/streaming services. There's the edits/remixes of This Boy and Here, There and Everywhere that almost made it onto Anthology 1 and Anthology 2 respectively. There's the live version of Baby's In Black that which has almost been fully released; the song itself was a bonus track on the recent Live at the Hollywood Bowl remix from Giles, but the intro on the Real Love single is absent on the version on the album. Take 9 of I Saw Her Standing There bizarrely never appeared on the Bootlegs 1963 album from 2013 despite other takes from the session being used on the album. Most importantly, though, is Christmas Time (Is Here Again), which is the only officially released Beatles song without any version appearing on an official album. Also, the BBC performance of Devil in Her Heart on the Baby It's You single has never been released on an album, despite the title track appearing on the first Live at the BBC album and the other two songs appearing the the second one. 12" singles are effectively glorified EPs anyway, and I don't think anyone would be complaining about their appearances. If the songs aren't gonna be released on an official album, the least that can be done is reissuing the singles on which they appear. Thank you for coming to my TEDtalk.

      @@peterx1957 12" EPs were a thing, albeit way less common. 12" EPs would run at 45 RPM, which is why I find it weird that 12", 45RPM records in the 80s were known as 12" singles. They were eventually replaced by 10" EPs, which continued to be used alongside the 7" versions throughout most of the EPs life. 12" EPs would appear every now and again, but were too costly for a record label to justify, so the 10" was used as a compromise.

      ​@@michaelcrawley7597 In what way would it be impractical? These aren't entire albums nor or they available in other forms. Comparing them to the US albums proposal you saw is misguided and fallacious. These are recordings unavailable on other albums nor streaming - the only way to access them is via the original CDs. There should be more accessibility to these songs, especially Christmas Time (Is Here Again) as very few people get to here it in its highest quality.

    The EP is such a good format, sort of like Goldilocks finding the middle ground which was "just right". Sad that its day passed. I guess the industry preferred to focus on albums because they were more probably more profitable. But now that most people no longer care about or buy albums (unless they were released decades ago), at least parts of the industry have sort of returned to the mid-length format. In K-pop, for example, even major groups like Blackpink rarely release a full album, but they do put out "mini-album" CDs, generally with 3-6 songs on them, and packaged with photos and stickers and such. Anyway, I would definitely pick up a new Beatles EP box if they put one out.

    • @Pencilman246
      @Pencilman246 Год назад +3

      The EP has made a comeback on streaming. Most smaller bands I know put out EPs, especially early on, when releasing because albums are too much cost with little reward. The streaming algorithms reward frequent releases so it’s all gone back to singles and EPs for the most part.

    Something I think needs to be considered in light of new technological advances (many of which were pioneered for the Get Back project) would be a live box set. Even using free online AI demixing technology, it is possible to separate all the different sounds. I tried it with a Star Club recording and it was able to give me vocals, drums and guitars as separate tracks. The sound quality was still not great but if Peter Jackson were to have his team work on it, it could make a huge difference. This would also work with Beatlemania era live recordings as they'd finally be able to separate "the boys" from "the noise". They could have the audience on a separate track, lower it in the mix and make the music the focal point.
    As for an EPs set, I think it'd be cool. The biggest draw card for me would be if they were able to find some things that either have never been released or have been long out of print and unavailable elsewhere. One thing the 1981 set wouldn't have had would be the Live At The BBC promotional EP, so that's something else they could include. Maybe there could be a new EP featuring Free As A Bird and Real Love along with John's original demos or possibly alternate mixes.

Yes, the 5 Yellow Submarine tracks in both mono and stereo. I suggest the stereo versions that are on the Yellow Submarine Songtrack album.

    Nice idea Andrew, I would definitely like to see that! It would be nice to see it housed in a companion box to the singles also, a modern take on the old blue box sets.
    What I would REALLY love to see, is a mixed box set of E.P.'s from around the world. As you know, there were many other versions unique to other countries too, including here in Australia. I'd love to see you do a video on world EP's.
    Finally, I have an amazing box set from Mexico from 1981, 'Volume 1'. There are also volumes 2 & 3, which I don't have YET. You have probably seen a lot of these individually over the years, supposedly John Lennon actually selected the tracks for a lot of these, particularly the amazing ones featuring tracks by each Beatle filling the whole EP. eg. 4 Ringo tracks on 1 ep, 4 by George etc. I love these Mexican EP's.

    In the unforgettable words of Philip J Fry, "SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!" 😀Being in the States, an EP box would be especially welcome as the format never really caught on big here (even tho the majors tried since the early 50s), there were only the 2 Capitol and (I think) one VJ EPs. Hearing about the Long Tall Sally or Beatles Hits EPs is still somewhat foreign to a lot of us Beatlepeoples over here, so it'd be a neat way to hear the songs in a different way, not to mention the artwork & design!

      You say there was no MMT re-issue in the 80's but the stereo copy, SMMT-1, was still around in the 1980's because I bought my copy from HMV on Oxford Street in 1980 and I vaguely recall that the mono copy was also there, but I could be wrong about that. It was a long time ago. I know there was a big push on reissue mono LPs around that time which I completely avoided. In the 70s and 80s stereo was king so why would I pick a disc with one channel when I could pick a disc with two. I am much older and wiser now and my collection contains both.

    Definitely a good idea. I still have the first 5 EP's from the 60's. They represent great sentimental value as there's no way my parents could afford to buy me LP's in those days.

    I reckon one reason why EPs were so popular in the U.K. is because they had proper covers with photos and notes whereas our singles were in plain sleeves. EPs were more like mini albums and in effect spread the cost of an album. Whilst an EPs cost twice as much as a single, because of the cover you got more than twice as much value.

    Absolutely count me in! I have the 1981 EP box set, both mono and stereo MMT EPs, the Baby It's You EP and some US and French EPs. I'll gladly go for a new EP box set, especially with the Yellow Submarine tracks.
    I've mentioned here before that my dream EP would be the songs from the Feb 68 sessions
    A: Lady Madonna/Hey Bulldog
    B: Across The Universe/The Inner Light
    I did read that the EMI master tape for the proposed Yellow Submarine EP was for a 7-inch mono EP to play at 33⅓ RPM speed.

    That would be a great idea but I must say I would get a French EP box set if it was available in a heartbeat, I think it was an even more popular than the single format in France. (It is so common than I don't think I have ever seen a Beatles French single prior to 1967). Another great video!

    • @MsKnighterrant
      @MsKnighterrant Год назад +2

      Singles were not a format in France until 1967. The seven inch 45 rpm vinyl format was used for EPs only in France prior to 1967.

    I'm personally satisfied with my Blue Box EPs from the early 80's. However, I'm intrigued by your suggested that a Yellow Submarine EP be produced. There's a huge amount of possibilities around that idea and I'm pretty sure there would be a welcoming market for it.

    How about an EP box set in the 12 inch 45 rpm format! Those late 80s early 90s 12 inch singles used to sound really good. I have got some Cliff and the Shadows 12 inch EPs from Holland they look and sound fantastic.

    Andrew, I'm on board with this idea. EPs were not a thing here in the U.S., so these would be new to me. I did mange to score a copy of the "Long Tall Sally" RSD re-issue, but I'd love to have the whole set, with your suggested add-ons. I hope it happens.

    I remember buying a few brand new Beatles EPs in the early to mid 80s. Still have them. They do look great. I fear a box set like this would sit pretty on a shelf, but wouldn’t get played very much. But it would look nice….

    Being from the States, it's awesome to hear what the Beatles did with their back singles catalog as it was building up in the UK during the 60s. I would love to hear those EPs remastered, especially if some of the tracks used different source tapes from their LP counterparts.👍👍👍

    Along with my Mum's Beatles singles, the EPs are the other thing she bought. Got rather dog-eared copies of Extracts from a Hard Day's Night and The Beatles Million Sellers. I agree a new EP vinyl collection would be very nice to see, because the EPs are often neglected when people think about The Beatles discography.

    The GEP 8899 catalogue number for 'The Beatles' Golden Discs' EP would place it between 'All My Loving' (GEP 8891, 7 February 1964) and 'Long Tall Sally' (GEP 8913, 19 June 1964).

    I was lucky enough to buy the Long Tall Sally EP on the same day as I bought the Beatles For Sale LP in the second half of the 1970s. For one thing, the combination was more rock'n'roll than the Beatle albums I already had,especially Slown Down and Rock'n'Roll Music (one of the first CDs I bought was a Larry Williams best-of, particularly for his Slow Down and Bad Boy). There were a few tracks on the album that took a few plays to get under my skin (Mr Moonlight and I'll Follow The Sun, for example.

    Agreed, Andrew; it would be a great addition. I still have my pristine originals, but a box set would be nice to have. I would pay more for the original UK artwork with the flipbacks. The Yellow Sub would be fantastic to have and would be a good place to have the unedited It's All Too Much.
