Available from online vendors so I will not be posting a sample. Presented here to share the cover variations.

Terrific cheese cake photos of Cugat's wife (m. 1952 - 1954), Abby Lane, grace the front and back cover of this jacket that Mercury styled after Enoch Light's Command label gatefold album designs. The third image is Mercury's single sleeve jacket variation of the album (SR 60870).
