Black & yellow Parlophone labels with sans-serif typesetting. Perimeter rim copyright text beginning with 'THE PARLOPHONE CO LTD. ...'. 'RECORDING FIRST PUBLISHED 1964' above the side indicator numeral. Centred below the song credits: 'MADE IN Gt. BRITAIN'. This album has a 'Unipak'-style, outside laminated gatefold sleeve [opens from the inside] with only one card layer for the front lap and flipbacks inside the opened gatefold. Pinched spine endings. There are 3 variations involving the presence or lack of periods after the NCB credit following two of the songs. This release omits the period after NCB in the publishing credits for B5 'I Don't Want To Spoil The Party'.
