Does anyone know why this LP had two different sleeves please? Issued April 1964, #229. I appreciate that the black one is misspelled but I heard it came out after the other. Thanks.

It was probably due to marketing- when the album was first released in 1962, the title was a good selling point.

As the years went on, the title dated the album.

Also, it was "false advertising", as the only song on it that was released as a single, ("Tistin' Postman" wasn't even a hit, and the others were garbage LP filler material.  The first cover is very rare, while I've seen scads of the 2nd.  I;m sure that they switched covers very early in the LPs sales run, maybe near the beginning of 1963.
