COMMENTS
Second Mono (only) press with red label for domestic released.
In January of 1966, Odeon replaced their earlier label with a red label and their logo with a logo that more closely resembled the logos 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.
Red-label copies of LSO 101 through LSO 105 exist with either (S) in a circle or S by itself on the label.
