COMMENTS
 From 1964 through the end of 1965, all of Odeon's EP releases were on an orange label with black print.
Like their earlier counterparts, all of these are collectible today.
The three dark blue label EP's were reissued onto the orange label.
  • Sleeve
    • 1st. press (December 1965): Picture Sleeve
  • Label 
    • 1st. press (December 1965): Orange Odeon label with black print
J.Colombet, Paris XV: French printing company based in Paris.
A number figures often near the logo as a print date. For example, 50 means May 1960 and 111 means November 1961.
The new logo can be printed without Paris XV information but it keeps the "J" design.
The new logo JColombet began to be printed on EP's in February 1960. Before, we can find Imprimerie Jean Colombet or Colombet.
There is no rules for LP's often credited in Imprimerie Jean Colombet.
