COMMENTS
|
In 1963, while "les Beatles" were ready to
play live at Paris concert cityhall "l'Olympia" for 3 weeks, Odéon
label published its second French EP : SOE 3741 " She Loves You ". The French "SOE 3741" exists in 2 different and traditional label colors from "Odéon France". That is to say the dark blue and orange label. The dark blue color was pressed earlier than orange was. "SOE 3741" opened the French Beatles EP trilogy . Afterwards , Odeon France will only use orange label. The earliest Odeon label style has ODÉON in large letters across the top of the label. Before some time in early 1964, the labels were dark blue in color. There were three EP's which were originally released on the dark blue Odeon label.
The English song titles are translated in French on both front and back covers. "She Loves You" has the wrong time (1' 56)
The prefix "S" does not stand for stereo, but probably rather “standard.” All of the SOE series EP's are in mono. |
