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.

Early copies sold in Denmark and Sweden were U.K. discs housed in this Swedish-made sleeve. Subsequent copies in both countries come with domestic pressings.

(*)SIB Tryck TUMBA SWEDEN
Swedish printing company.
The company SIB-Tryck AB was established in its earliest incarnation in 1950. The location of their printing factory shifted between different locations in the Stockholm region.
Earliest record sleeves with Tumba logo appear from ca 1959, when they moved from their previous Enskede location.
In 1971, they had 35 employees, annual turnover 6 MSEK and the management consisted of CEO Erik Rudberg, his wife Göta Rudberg, Lars Larsson, Eje Ringqvist, Arne Sandberg.
It moved from Tumba to Norsborg sometime between December 1981 and September 1982.
