This album, like it's predecessor, included a 12 page souvenir booklet. The last page on the back was designed so that it could be cut off and used for framing purposes.

 

Later issues of this album had U.K records in American sleeves with a U.K. ZZ price code sticker on the rear. Both the U.K. and the U.S. front sleeves had a round cut out in the centre that showed the front photo on the inner sleeve.
