It is virtually impossible to obtain
reliable information about swirl pressings from these five countries.
Until now
we have found few releases only.
From Turkey we have
encountered three single (two without a picture sleeve),
as shown below. But we also have confirmation that both 6059 002 (Black
Sabbath Evil woman/ Wicked world)
and 6059 010 (Black Sabbath Paranoid/
The wizard) were released with a picture sleeve in Turkey.
From Greece we have
seen just 3 albums, and 1 single, this time without any doubt Greek releases. Better scan provided by our readers!
The other known albums are 6360 011, Black Sabbath's Paranoid and 6360 017, Colosseum's Daughter of time.

The wording ''Made in Greece'' at six o'clock leaves little doubt where
this was manufactured. The cover is similar to the British issue.

Greek labels for 6073 152 Lighthouse One fine morning/ Little kind words |
From
Portugal we have up till
now only found a few single releases as shown below. There is no
country
code, but the
label says unmistakenly ''Made in Portugal'' at 9 o'clock or ''Philips
Portuguesa'' on some others (see label scan below)
