"MADE IN GERMANY (straight)" and 45 in a triangle were printed at the bottom of the label.
White-label demos are dated 16 Sep 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
