 Mistress?!?!
Being a member of the sex depicted on the album cover (but slightly more beautiful) I protest :-)

 ah, that's more like it, mistress hawkmarty; though yr hmbl srppnt. s'spects the background colour varied some, and quite markedly, over the years. (iirc, some were describable at best as "off-white", and the printing was sometimes somewhat blotchy; but this could be confusing em with others of this ilk - and maybe even [artist=blaster-bates]blaster bates[/artist]es rather more stunning opera. . .

(yr hmbl srppnt. did not ever sell/help sell a single one of these lps, nor see anyone else do so - but we/they must have, as we/they needed to restock them fairly reliably often...)

 They did not sir pint. I believe they were originally issued on the same label as this LP. Or at least this one was; not sure about Volume 2.

 did these originally bear the island label - yr hmbl srppnt. doesn't remember them having it, or any label tbh - though they had island mono lp prefixes - ?

 The Surprise label was a very early Island offshoot. I read somewhere that this LP was the first release by Island of "music" by white artists but that may be apocryphal.
