COMMENTS		Japanese first EP in "UK release series". In England, the first EP issued was "TWIST AND SHOUT (GEP 8882)", but this was not the first one manufactured and ready for release. The EP "THE BEATLES' HITS (GEP 8880)" was originally going to be issued in 1963 as the first EP, but was put on hold due to the great popularity of the song "Twist and Shout"; so, as an alternate EP, "TWIST AND SHOUT" was issued first instead. Similar design as the UK EP of the same name. On Apple Records "Made in Japan" with dark green apple label. Stereo: 33 r.p.m. with the small hole , Insert and obi strip.
