COMMENTS
This EP was only released as a record club edition with both orange (1st. press) and red label (2nd. and 3rd.press). It is also the last of Polydor's Tony Sheridan & The Beatles editions which came out in Germany with the older orange label.
All versions of the EP have the slow English introduction to "My Bonnie". The edition with the orange label has the text "Sonderauflage für die Mitglieder des Bertelsmann-Schallplattenringes (Special edition for members of the Bertelsmann's record club)" printed in a white square on the label.
As to the covers, there are editions both with and without the release and production date.

"GEMA*/BIEM**" :a marking that indicates what company is responsible for the copyright payments for the material released on the record to the proper publishers. It is important to remember that a record with the above-mentioned marking isn't necessarily made in Germany but which was intended for sale in Germany.
