12" Single
Jona Lewie - Hallelujah Europa (Part 1 And 2) (1978)
Uploaded extract from NME 22 May 1976 (page 2, News Desk, Recording News): Sonet took "the unusual step" (for that time) of issuing a 12-inch single.

According to TNS, the corresponding 7-inch single was released on 23 July 1976.

For some reason, I own two 12-inch singles of this: one with the usual Sonet pink and orange labels, matching those uploaded by David Whiteley (2261727, 2261726); the other with monochrome labels bearing a sketched likeness of Jona Lewie's face, matching those uploaded by Sander1 on the 7-inch entry (633664, 633666). The monochrome labels on that latter 12-inch are smaller labels of a size normally found on 7-inchers, and they do not mention SISCO 1; the only catalogue numbers on them are SON 2081 and a reference to the LP SNTF 794 (from 1979, I believe). The run-out grooves' widths and markings differ between the two 12-inch singles, although the musical content is the same, as far as I can tell. The long sides match the audio here:
