The Beginning EP is the second EP released by the Tennessee-based band The Features. It was later re-released in the U.K. by Fierce Panda Records on September 22, 2003, with a different track order and different cover art. Finally, it was re-released for a second time by Universal Records in the United States on March 16, 2004. The Universal release of The Beginning featured new cover art and the same track order as the Fierce Panda release, but with the addition of the song "The Way It's Meant To Be" as a sixth track. "The Way It's Meant To Be" was included as a preview of their debut album, Exhibit A, released the following year by Universal Records.
