My Bonnie is an EP by The Beatles, issued through Polydor on 12 July 1963. It arrived in the same year as their first two studio albums, Please Please Me and With The Beatles, which places it right at the start of their recorded story. It is a small release beside those records, but it is worth knowing for anyone who wants to fill in the earliest part of the picture.
