It’s the only Belgian Beatles single on a ‘rainbow’-type ODÉON label. From now on we see ‘THE BEATLES’ instead of ‘LES BEATLES’ on the label.

The single stayed four months (May – June - July - August 1965) in the Belgian hit parade, reached at Highest position No. 3
The single was pressed at SOBEDI Gent Belgium. Belgium distributor of The Beatles songs in Brussels, made the same mistake as E.M.I. France! They copied the wrong timing (2’33) for Rock and Roll Music on the A-side. As it mentioned before, 2’20 is the correct timing.
