Originally released by MGM Records in 1963, the cover shown above is for a re-release on the Polydor label from between 1972 and 1982. If you look closely at the lower right hand corner, you can see where the designers copied a section of the background to cover the spot where the MGM logo would have been.

The rest of the design is unchanged, with all-caps Anzeigen-Grotesk used for the title and the song names.
