COMMENTS
 Odeon of France began to issue two-song singles on a regular basis beginning in July, 1967. These singles were prefixed "FO". By April, 1968, France had become part of the European Economic Community (EEC) numbering system. From that point on, all singles, new and rerelease, would be issued with the new numbers. In late 1968, all new Beatles releases switched to the Apple label, while earlier records remained on Odeon.

The song titles are printed in green on the front of the sleeve, later changed to white, just like the group's name.
There are 3 types of backs for the sleeves.
  • The first is a gradient type from yellow-green to green.
  • The Second is a black and white type with 16 circles lined up.
  • The Third is a type with only a large Apple logo. (Front cover lettering was printed in white)
