← Beatles Singles Released in Canada
Free as a Bird was released in Canada as an import only, on CD, cassette (cassingle) and vinyl formats. The US 45 was mostly found by default in shops, while the UK pressing was more often found on special order. Curiously, some shops (e.g., in Québec City at Music World), 45s had a large hole punched through the label; it is thought to be meant for jukeboxes, but these were sold in music stores as regular stock copies. The CDs (promo and stock) were imported from the USA.
