Notes

Swedish 7" almost identical to their respective British counterparts, with the exception of the labels which are white instead of orange. The 7" has a solid centre, so it matches the British solid centre variation of the 7". There are no MNW or n©b logo on either the sleeve or label to establish without any doubt that these are actually for the Swedish (and by extension the Scandinavian) market, but just like many other Swedish singles, they were both pressed in the UK and feature black and white versions of the British labels. Also, before the internet accelerated the international trading of collectibles, these were mostly obtainable from Swedish dealers.
