The Beatles French Singles/FO Series

French Odeon and Apple Label: "FO-" Series [1967-1972]
<Jukebox Series				2C006 "Apple" Series>

The release policy of singles is somewhat unusual in France. It is primarily an EP country, and singles before All You Need Is Love were released as jukebox singles only, with 7 SO or SO prefixes in front of the five-digit catalog numbers. first two, From Me To You / Please Please Me and She Loves You / Twist And Shout, came in Odeon company hole covers.
The "FOS" series continued with several later jukebox singles. After early 1966, the labels resembled the new red label, although one was white in color to indicate its special status.
Odeon of France began to issue two-song singles on a regular basis beginning in July, 1967. These singles were prefixed "FO". By April, 1968, France had become part of the European Economic Community (EEC) numbering system. From that point on, all singles, new and rerelease, would be issued with the new numbers. In late 1968, all new Beatles releases switched to the Apple label, while earlier records remained on Odeon.
