Standard 'Beggars Banquet' black on red, paper labels that erroneously bears a '?' in the title of the B-side (though the sleeve is correct), unlike this version (which has a similar, but different misprint).

Another WEA West Drayton release, but with different label design and no B-side '?' can be found here: Are 'Friends' Electric?.
