Released in Europe in September of 1965

This LP was not released in England even though it was made there. It went on export to Europe mainland. It sold as new in at least The Netherlands and the Nordic countries. There are two different albums having the same title name as “Out Of Or Heads” and pressed by Decca in UK. The UK domestic OOOH LK4733 had a different set of song as well as a different cover. This record was the US version that Decca pressed for export only. Reason why Decca also released the American version of OOOH was that it had the megahit Satisfaction on it which was missing from the domestic version. DECCA in UK did not put songs released on singles on albums, but that was done in US. So, to get the big hit of 1965 on a LP in Europe, they opted to release the US version instead of the UK version.
This LP was pressed in rather small quantities so there are not that many variations to look for.

Vinyl versions

Grooved and non-grooved labels

Both Mono and Stereo LP’s of OOOH export version can be found with grooved and non-grooved labels. This indicates that mono records were pressed for export up to the end on the 60’s.
