Snuggle puss

Here’s a truely generic recording with a sweet little sleeve.   No artists credited just the following back note “A very fine performance by both Musicians and Singing Artists, a very stimulating record”   And one of the six covers is called “Alternate Title” ?   Avenue Records   London, England   (1967)     Nice lo-fi player too!
