    Fascinating. I seem to remember reading that some copies of the green singles had different label details, depending when they were pressed. I presume they would have come from the different editions of the box.

    By the way, did you notice that Spanish single lists "Ballad of John and Yoko" before "Hey Jude". That's odd – I can't imagine they didn't originally release "Hey Jude" in 1968, but "Ballad of J&Y" came out almost a year later.

    I have the second issue Uk World Records 24 single set. R 5777 Get Back/Don't Let me down is miss-pressed. The B side label is correct however it has the McCartney song "I've Had Enough" pressed on the B-side. Check your set!

    I have heard there are possibly other miss-pressings with this set. If you know of any others please post the information.

    I'm curious to know what the the story is behind a set of UK singles I got from EMI around 1976 or so?
    It's a set of 23 45 Parlophone singles in a salesman's cardboard box, each marked "NOT FOR SALE" as is the yellow cardboard sales presentation box that packaged them.
