Golden Discs was the title of an unreleased E.P. which was intended to be The Beatles fifth. It was scheduled for release in 1964 but was not issued. It is believed that the release was scrapped due to the scheduling of other current E.P.s, which included Long Tall Sally and two from the Hard Days Night project.
The contents of the E.P. are erroneously thought to be identical to the later Million Sellers. (Some pressings of that disc have the title "Beatles' Golden Discs" stated on the labels.) However if that were the case, then Golden Discs would have included "I Feel Fine", which was not released until November 1964, some months after the E.P. was scheduled. In fact the proposed track listing was different to Million Sellers.
According to Record Collector's Rare Record Price Guide, there exist just two one-sided test pressings of Golden Discs and one set of proof labels.
