COMMENTS
In late 1964 and early 1965, Parlphone-S.A. was in transition. The new label color was dark blue, and the Rhodesian issue has the rim print begins "Unauthorised public performance...."
cf. South African pressing has the rim print begins "All rights of the manufacturer...."
First pressings were released in mono only.

*Rhodesia: A country in south-central Africa, south of what is now the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Today it is called Zimbabwe. In the early British colonial period it was administered by the British South Africa Company. It has been inhabited since ancient times.
