The pressing plant used some older stock-labels with the imprint of 33 rpm for that record, so that is the reason, why it is blacked out and overprinted with 45 rpm.

Interesting to see, that this copy is a clear MISPRINTED version.
The Half apple is normally for the B-Sides and the green full apple is for the A-Sides for LPs, Singles and Maxi-Singles.
I also own such a misprinted copy with the B-Side Apple on A-Side and with the A-Side lettering.
Just have a closer look at your copies.

That Mick Jackson was a UK-Soldier in Germany in my hometown of Paderborn, NRW. He had very good composer-abilities and he owned a small sound-studio. That well known Michael Jackson Song/The Jacksons-Song Blame it on the boogie is a brainchild of him, of that Mick Jackson. On this Maxi-Single you can hear the first original-version of that song, but the Michael Jackson-Version is more popular and more successful.
