Comments

maybe 3rd variation released in late 1950s - early 1960s: the disc is NOT ultra-heavy disc with black/gold label, and the jacket is NOT a very thin type.

The front cover says its title “Ralph Marterie with Strings”, although the correct title is “Sweet And Lovely”

See other variations: 1st type with paper sleeve and 2nd type with another front cover design.
