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. Songs From the film, "4 Garçons.." (HDN +3) ‐‐ on the back cover, next to "Les Beatles," is information about writing to their fan club. A mock LP cover is one of the photos. There are three different versions for the cover of the SOE 3766:
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.

COMMENTS
|
For the first few months of 1966, a few
EP's were issued on a red label with large ODÉON. It is easy to see
that this was an intermediary release, since by this time the Odeon
logo on the EP covers had changed. The EP's which exist in this
intermediate form are:
The EP’s numbered MEO‐101 and MEO‐102 were released in January, 1966. While the Hollies EP is scarcer, the Beatles’ MEO‐102 may be found having a label marked “Médium” at the right side, or (less commonly) with a label showing an “M” in a circle. The circle‐M appears on most releases beginning in February, 1966. Later pressings of these records sometimes show “M” without a circle. 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. The above four "transitional" EP's were reissued onto the red label.
