Four by The Beatles was the first of two Beatles EPs released by Capitol Records in the United States (catalogue number EAP 1-2121.) The album featured four songs that had previously been heavily imported into the US as Canadian singles. It made #92 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 singles chart. An extended play (or "EP" in common speech) is a musical recording which contains more music than a single, but is too short to qualify as a full album or LP. The term EP originally referred only to specific types of vinyl records other than 78 rpm standard play (SP) records and LP records, but it is now applied to mid-length compact discs and music downloads as well. Ricardo Baca of The Denver Post said, "EPs — originally extended-play 'single' releases that are shorter than traditional albums — have long been popular with punk and indie bands." In the United Kingdom, the Official Chart Company defines a boundary between EP and album classification at 25 minutes of length or four tracks (plus alternative versions of featured songs).
