That "one original track" is a cover too - "I've Never Found A Girl' was a single for Eddie Floyd the previous year.

Comment by W.B.lbl:

The new {Images #3580920 & 3580921} is a Columbia Terre Haute variant; naturally, the Pitman layout {Images #1711354 & 1711356} is much neater and more organized.

Third label variant added.
