4-pronged edition

A technical error somewhere along the line caused many CotR
singles to have 3 tracks by Creedence Clearwater Revival.
The "A" side track being "I Put a Spell On You".
Unsure of the "B" sides two tracks titles but possibly
"Molina" and "Fortunate Son".

So-called 8-pronged edition

You will never find an intact 8-pronged edition simply
because they don't exist. They are just a 4-pronged edition
that have been turned slightly by hand and re-punched.
This re-punching removes the centre piece entirely.

Produced in Finland by EMI for RAY
(Raha-automaattiyhdistys) Finland's Slot Machine Association,
a charity that ran most of Finland's Jukeboxes.
