Note: EMI Australia exhausted all imported supplies of the UK covers before using the locally manufactured single sleeve in December 1969. They started with the stereo cover (variation one of the Orange "Top" Stereo) and then used the remaining the mono covers (as the mono catalogue was deleted in June 1969) and placing the stereo sticker on it.

This is the last Australian version that uses UK sleeves. Note that this label variation was also issue in the single Australian Sleeve.
