COMMENTS
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.

The song on side 2 is titled "The" Old Brown Shoe.
