oh what a mess multiple formats bedevil the writing of a logically structured encyclopedia i can see valid arguments for maintaining although how much that needs to be done is moot different chronologies for uk and us releases because of the various columbia chop ups that were released in the early years but trying to keep them in step is an arduous task most beatles albums tend to be listed in order of their uk release which usually preceded other locations and that per wp engvar should imho be the norm as regards principal chronology there's no issue with listing colonial releases in the main article but little to be gained in having separate articles as regards this one as far as the uk is concerned it was a double ep and i see no problem in describing that initial release as an album for simplicity's sake and all variations should follow from that however this article is but an outpost of wp beatles and perhaps some wider input would be useful andemu
