Ireland Irish 7" discography / The Decca years

The Rolling Stones - Decca F11764 • Ireland discography: The Decca yearsDespite all rumours, the 3 original EPs from the band would only have been imported from England and the inland production started with 'Come On' [F 11675].

Irish Decca labels are very much like the English ones, but bear an extra distinctive 'Pressed in Eire' or 'made in Ireland' mention. Note that the British pattern was initially used, including its 'made in England' line below the curved Decca logo, and this is not until 1966 that the latter will be removed.
Minor typographic differences are also to be found occasionally.
The curved Decca logo was used until the 'Street Fighting Man' EP [F 13195], in 1971, contrarily to England where it was replaced by a boxed logo in 1966.

All singles were distributed into English Decca dust company sleeves - as England, orange until 1966, then blue and white.

The Rolling Stones - 19th Nervous Breakdown • Ireland discography: The Decca yearsSome British export versions of singles were used - '(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction' [F 12220], '2000 Light Years From Home' [F 22706] or 'Street Fighting Man' [F 22825] - but not systematically, as 'Get Off Of My Cloud' [F 12263] shows.

Ireland made the same mistake as England when spelling 'Stones' as the flip side of 'I Wanna Be Your Man' [F 11764] in 1964.

Two versions of 'Satisfaction' [F 12220] exist, the first issue credits the A-side production to 'Impact Sound', the second Andrew Oldham ['A.L.Oldham'].

All Irish pressings are very collectable, as few were made, and they often happen to surface in bad shape.

The Rolling Stones - Stone 2 • Ireland discography: The Decca yearsIn 1980, the Irish version of the 'Single Stone' series - a set of 12 singles recompiling original 60's hits - used the British picture sleeves but records came out with Irish paper labels and a complete different design than its neighbour's injection moulded labels.
