DESCRIPTION (ACTUAL SCANS) THE EXTENDED PLAY FORMAT WAS SUCH A POPULAR FORMAT IN THE 1950s, BUT ITS POPULARITY WANED DRAMATICALLY IN THE 1960s AMONG THE YOUNG KIDS, WHO OPTED FAR MORE OFTEN FOR THE FULL ALBUM OR THE SINGLES. ODDLY, THE EPs DIDN'T REALLY FEATURE THE CHARTED HIT SINGLES TRACKS THAT THE TWO SONG SINGLES AND LPs WOULD CONTAIN. PRESENTED AND BEING OFFERED HERE IS A MOST IMMACULATE EAST COAST PRESSING OF THE FIRST OF ONLY TWO CAPITOL RECORDS BEATLES EXTENDED PLAYS (EP). "FOUR BY THE BEATLES" (CAPITOL EAP 1-2121), ISSUED ON MAY 11, 1964. THE SECOND AND FINAL BEATLES EP ENTITLED, " 4X4" 4 BY THE BEATLES ". WAS ISSUED IN FEBRUARY 1965 - AND THAT WAS IT. THIS BRILLIANT WORLD CLASS NEAR MINT "AS NEW" COVER IS ABSOLUTELY STUNNING, BOLD AND VIBRANT FROM CORNER TO CORNER. NO SPLITS, NO RINGWEAR. THE GLOSSY, COLORFUL TEXTURE OF THE CARDBOARD COVER APPEARS BRAND NEW. IT HAS BEEN PROPERLY STORED OVER THE LAST 50+ YEARS WITH THE RECORD STORED SEPARATELY OUT OF THE COVER. THE RECORD, PRESSED AT THE SCRANTON, PENNSYLVANIA FACTORY IS A GORGEOUS AND SHIMMERING MINT MINUS "UNPLAYED" GEM THE CAPITOL RECORDS EAST COAST "TURQUOISE" BLUE LABELS ARE EQUALLY FLAWLESS AND BRIGHT. THIS EAST COAST "FOUR BY THE BEATLES" EXTENDED PLAY SET IS TRULY ONE OF THE VERY BEST EXAMPLES WE HAVE EVER OFFERED, AND IS DEFINITELY A FINAL UPGRADE - UNLESS A STILL SEALED COPY COMES ALONG.
