COMMENTS
Green label and Odeon logo mark in white was printed above the center hole.
"MADE IN GERMANY (straight)" and 45 in a triangle were printed at the bottom of the label.
White-label demos are dated 9 June 1964 meaning official release was a few weeks later.

The Original Odeon label single's appear in two slightly different styles. The first of these styles, features the following print around the rim of the label:

ALLE HERSTELLER. UND URHEBERRECHTE VORBEHALTEN ÜBERSPIELUNG ÖFFENTLICHE AUFFÜHRUNG UND RUNDFUNKSENDUNG UNTERSAGT
(All rights of the manufacturer reserved. Copying, public performance, and radio broadcast prohibited.)
