COMMENTS
|
At the beginning of May, 1966, Odeon
replaced their earlier label with a red label and their logo with a
logo that more closely resembled those used in other countries. The
red label appears on all Odeon releases of the time, but when France
took up the EEC numbering in 1969, they stopped using the original
catalog numbers on Beatles releases. EP's originally released on the red label are shown below. You will notice that some records which were originally released on the dark blue/orange label were reissued and given new catalog numbers. Although the EP was essentially replaced by the single, or simple, in 1967, the EP's continued to be issued on the red label at least through 1969.
DILLARD et Cie, lmp. Paris: Printing company located in Paris, France, headed by Michel Dillard (an old publisher from La Sirène éditions musicales). Often appears on releases as "Dillard et Cie. Imp. Paris" or "Dillard & Cie, Imp. Paris". |
