Extracts From the Film ‘A Hard Day’s Night’
Extracts From the Film 'A Hard Day's Night' is a Beatles EP on Parlophone, released on 4 November 1964 under the catalogue number GEP 8920. It gathers songs from the soundtrack to their first film, all of which also appear on the A Hard Day's Night album.
It sits in the busy run of releases that marked the Beatles' 1964, a year that also brought Beatles for Sale. The EP gave listeners a compact, cheaper way to take home a handful of the film's songs rather than the full record. It was issued beyond Britain too, turning up in Australia, Spain, New Zealand and France. For collectors and fans of the era, it is a neat little artefact of how the band's music reached people in the mid-1960s.
