Extended Plays
The following Parlophone-only released UK EPs were considered official at the time of their release and were re-issued on 7 December 1981 on vinyl and 26 May 1992 on CD in the EP Collection boxed-sets but have since been deleted from the current Beatles catalogue. All of the songs from the EPs are now available on various CD releases. Only two of the EPs contained songs that were not also featured on their albums or singles: the Long Tall Sally EP, whose tracks can now be found on the Past Masters CD, and the Magical Mystery Tour EP, whose tracks are on the Magical Mystery Tour CD album.

The Parlophone-only released EPs were re-released on 7 December 1981 as part of a 15-disc EP boxed-set called The Beatles EP Collection, which included all 13 British EPs, both mono and stereo editions of Magical Mystery Tour, and also an EP of four stereo mixes, new to the UK. This rarities EP, called The Beatles EP, contains the following four tracks: "The Inner Light", "Baby, You're a Rich Man", "She's a Woman" and "This Boy". The EP Collection was re-released on 26 May 1992 on compact disc. Magical Mystery Tour peak chart positions were originally listed in the singles chart, not the EP chart.
