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.

Hey Jude is even more diverse, as far as its variations are concerned.
France, like other countries around the world, issued that single on its domestic label, Odeon (on the red label), and subsequently on Apple. The Odeon edition came with four different front cover variations, that all had to do with shading and colour reversions of the Odeon and EMI logos on the left, and the catalogue number on the right.
All versions shared the same ad back. The first Apple edition was released with the old Odeon FO- number and later with a new Apple APF - number.
