The release policy of singles is somewhat unusual in France. It is primarily an EP country, and singles before All You Need Is Love were released as jukebox singles only, with 7 SO or SO prefixes in front of the five-digit catalog numbers. first two, From Me To You / Please Please Me and She Loves You / Twist And Shout, came in Odeon company hole covers.
From Me To You is the only jukebox single to be issued on a yellow label; the first three after it came on the dark blue label  (She Loves You / Twist And Shout with no picture cover; I Want To Hold Your Hand / Hold Me Tight and All My Loving / It Won't Be Long with picture covers).
All were also available on the orange Odeon label.
In 1972 and 1973, France issued a number of pre-Apple singles that had not come out in that country so far, but in many others. Some of them included re-releases of old jukebox singles, some of them were the original UK couplings (UK A-sides were sometimes given different B-sides for the French jukebox editions). All 25 of these releases carried individual front picture sleeves and had a list of the whole series written on the back.
 They were all issued an the red Odeon label with the dome on the left.
