7” MARY HOPKIN: Those Were the Days / Turn Turn Turn

Released on Apple label APPLE 2 in 1968 in Finland.

Please note: The letter P (=published) has ring around it.  It’s exceptional as far as the Finnish pressings are concerned.  The label style and colours strongly refer to a Finnish pressing. It’s an early Apple issue, maybe the label pattern with printed text was imported from U.K., and they omitted only the “sold in UK..” etc markings.

KT tax code engraved on dead wax area both side of the record, as they did on the Finnish pressings.
