Beatles re-issued Canadian "swirl" singles from 1967
Written by Piers Hemmingsen, 2011.
RCA Reissue swirls
All of these "re-issue" singles were re-pressed by RCA in 1967. They all have brackets around the word Canada on the label's perimeter print and were housed in the newer Capitol stock paper sleeves that featured the word "Capitol" repeated in black, on an angular format, on a white background. Here is the listing of what was issued:

More titles may have been issued at this time. The pressing quantities were limited so they are very scarce. More detailed information on this subject is to be found on page 99 of "The Beatles Canadian Discography Part 1 - 45 RPM & Other Special 7" Discs" which was published in 2003.
Compo Anomalies
Some re-pressings were done by Compo, like this Yesterday single. It is supposed that these obscure repressings were shared between the two pressing plants. Paperback Writer was in print during the change-over, this is why late summer 1966 copies had the brackets on the label
