German 7" discography / Decca 60's export singles 
These singles were exclusively produced in 1965 and 1966 by Decca Germany for mail-order distribution in Switzerland through the 'Ex Libris' book club.
They bear their own catalogue numbers and their covers are variations of the original German sleeves types.
A very scarce and unique picture sleeve - with two different backs - was made for 'As Tears Go By' [Decca 20038] though, felt as the A-side there.
Labels are similar to German ones, wine red, with an extra 'Club Edition' mention below the oval Decca logo until 1965.
Following '19th Nervous Breakdown', a few more singles were distributed by 'Ex Libris' but these were the usual German pressings [and PS], only bearing an additional sticker in the top right corner, above the catalogue number.
- the 'stage' cover [narrow titles] and the 'Got Live' brown beam covers were used for 'Paint It, Black' [DL 25240] with an additional 'Club Edition Ex Libris' sticker, neutral [oval Decca logo labels] or numbered '20050' [rectangular Decca logo labels];
- the 'Got Live' brown beam cover was used for 'Mother's Little Helper' [DL 25260, w/ small round sticker reading 'Club Edition - 20062'];
- the 'stairs' cover was used for 'Let's Spend The Night Together' [DL 25280, w/ small round sticker reading 'Club Edition - 20074']
