Several LP's are known with blue labels and the old "SMO" number."  The change from the  old  logo  to  the  new  logo  happened  around catalog number 74 411. The EEC numbering began just after 74 490.

COMMENTS
Contract press for Germany, made in France.
It had the German 1C 072 catalog number, and the GEMA reference on the labels, but it was pressed by Pathe Marconi on sky blue Odeon labels.
It was not unusual that export pressings had the country code and/or release number of the country that they were exported to.
For example, France (country code 2C) pressed 1A Apple records for the Netherlands, Italy (3C) pressed 2C copies for France and even pressed record with blue "French-style" Odeon labels that had "Made in Italy", Holland (5C/1A) pressed for Germany (1C), Sweden (7C) pressed for Holland (1A/5C) etc. etc. etc. With sleeves it is even more complicated sometimes.

"LC 0287 (Odeon label code)" was printed at the right side of the center hole.

*The EEC numbering mean the country of release can been readily identified from the first two characters :
     1C = Germany
     2C = France
     3C = Italy
     4C = Belguim

    10C = Spain

It had the German 1C 072 catalog number, and the GEMA reference on the labels, but it was pressed by Netherlands Odeon on yellow Odeon labels.

It was sold in both countries (maybe).

It was not unusual that export pressings had the country code and/or release number of the country that they were exported to.
For example, France (country code 2C) pressed 1A Apple records for the Netherlands, Italy (3C) pressed 2C copies for France and even pressed record with blue "French-style" Odeon labels that had "Made in Italy", Holland (5C/1A) pressed for Germany (1C), Sweden (7C) pressed for Holland (1A/5C) etc. etc. etc. With sleeves it is even more complicated sometimes.
