Appears to be an Australian only release, compilation of 1950's popular music and presented in "glorious" mono!
Call this album a trip down memory lane and worth a listen even if just to hear Les Paul playing (Side 2 Track 2)!
EMI (Australia) looks to have been "behind" this release and they also advertise their own EMI Record Cleaning Cloth and the manufacture of record players, radio & television receivers under the HMV tradename.

Cat# ENC 9709
197x (year of release is unknown but it is NOT 1950's, the cover is in far too good a condition and the front graphics have a distinct 1970's "look" - geez I used to look a lot like that guy!
MONAURUAL (identical music from both channels)
Australian release
Cover is in very good condition, very light edge wear from normal handling and no tears or seam splits. Even for a 1970's (ish) release, I don't think the boys in my previous business (audio post production) EVER put this vinyl on one of the turntables!
New inner plastic sleeve
Vinyl is in amazingly very good condition, visually examined under a bright white halogen light source and I can see NO scratches or marks on Side A and on Side B I can see two very short/light scratches. Just looking at your vinyl isn't usually good enough (even the old "hard" vinyl such as this record is made from) to make a judgement of the quality so I then played the ENTIRE release, both sides,. No issues with surface noise or click/pops although I heard a couple of very low level clicks on Side 2. Nice playback for a piece of vinyl around 50 years old.
