COMMENTS
|
The Beatles' UK-made singles were also exported to
neighboring European countries, where there were no
domestic presses. At that time, the record itself
was diverted from the UK domestic version, and only the
jacket was used for each country. Again, initially U.K. discs came with this Swedish
picture sleeve and were sold in Denmark and Sweden until
domestic pressings were ready. (*) NCB=Nordisk Copyright Bureau is responsible for the
