Walter Shenson:
As far as how the single was released using the title Eight Arms to Hold You, somebody jumped the gun. The same problem existed with Help as with A Hard Day's Night
Ok, I know that the original title of Help was 8 arms to hold you, and then United Artists probably jumped the gun and publicized that title, but I no nothing about single being released with this title. Does he mean single Help! or smth else?

maybe this will help
Please see this link. Perhaps there WAS no single by that name, here it seems as if the US edition referred to the forthcoming movie, which at that time was believed to be called 'eight arms...'.

One musical composition on a 45. When several were included together, they were place on a 33 (an album).

Eight Days a Week
At http://www.iamthebeatles.com/article1142.html
you'll find
Eight Days A Week
Although considered another true Lennon-McCartney collaboration, John said that it was written by Paul, and Paul says he wrote with John's influence. In any event, it was written as a potential title track for their next movie, which turned out to be Help! But, the title of Help! actually never changed and was always Help. This was written as a sort of just in case title song. What happened was that The Beatles chose the name of "Help" for their second movie, but were told there were copyright problems in that another had registered this name. Because of this, The Beatles first though that they could call their next movie "Beatles II," then decided on "Eight Arms To Hold You." Then, they decided that "Eight Arms To Hold You," made no sense as this was impossible, they then came up with the idea of an explanation mark at the end of "Help" making it now "Help!" therefore removing any copyright problems. McCartney got the idea for this song from the phrase "eight day's a week," from Ringo, who said it describing their terrible work schedule. It is unique in that it was the first Beatles' song to contain a faded intro, and was recorded on October 6 and 18, 1964.

Not too sure, but it sounds like 8 arms to hold you became 8 days a week!
The confusion re: Help seems to be referring to the film title, not the title of the single.
Hope this is of some help!

Record label unveils single plans
Robbie Williams is one of EMI's biggest-sellers
Music giant EMI is to introduce a new system of prices for CD singles in an attempt to revive sales.
Most singles will be available on two-track discs for £1.99 - but releases by the biggest names will be priced at £3.99.
The changes come as the UK music industry tries to recover from a sales drop that has seen almost 40% fewer singles sold so far this year compared with the same period in 2002.

one song record
Is a variation of what some colleagues suggested earlier.
It is really a small 45 or 33 rpm
containing only one song on each side.
