Something Cool From Ed And Garfield's Site

Hi all, I was exploring the apple.nl web site and come across a pair of EPs that are a bit of a mystery:

http://www.applerecords.nl/Israel%20Beatles%20EP.pdf

Why would two French pre-Apple EPs be reissued on Apple labels in Israel? Especially since they appear to be in French picture sleeves?
And why choose "Les Beatles Vol. 4" without including the first three volumes?

Weird, no?

Not really french picturesleeves, more israeli reprints of them.
I wonder if more of these were released on apple, the second one def. also exist on Parlophone.
In every case, the holy grail.

These are the only two Israëli EPs on Apple. There are quite a few on Parlophone, though:
1) The Beatles Hits (GEP 8880)
2) Twist and Shout (GEP 8882)
3) All My Loving (GEP 8891)
4) Can't Buy Me Love (SOE 3750)
5) Long Tall Sally (GEP 8913)
6) Yesterday (MOE 21004)
7) Paperback Writer (MEO 119)
8) Strawberry Fields Forever (MEO 134)
9) All You Need Is Love (EPOC 40023)
10) Magical Mystery Tour (SMMT 1 A)
11) The Fool On The Hill (SMMT 1 B )
12) Magical Mystery Tour 2-EP (SMMT 1 A/1 B )

Nos. 4, 6, 7 & 8 are modelled after French EPs, they initially split up the two MMT discs into separate releases and bar no. 9, the other EPs are modelled after their UK counterparts. No. 9 is actually the most interesting as it is an Israel-only release with both sides of the AYNIL single plus Here There and Everywhere (more of a maxi-single, therefore). All discs come in Israëli-produced covers (laminated on the front, unlaminated on the back).

Interesting that the sleeves to the two Apple EPs were made in Israel. They didn't even bother changing the Pathe Marconi credits on the back.

I knew that MMT was split up into two (non-Apple) EPs in Israel, with atractive and unique sleeves.
