Notes:

Initial cover version with credit at the bottom:
EMIDISC is a product of EMI-Group Companies issued in Germany by Electrola GmbH., Köln, in the Netherlands by N.V. BOVEMA, Heemstede.

C 048-50 718 on cover, front and back
1C 048-50 718 on Label

This version has both sides of the labels in the same color, with side indicator 1 / 2
[r=2057976 has slightly different color version on the labels and side indicator 1 on side A, but "Seite 2" on side B

On labels:
In circled text: ST33

Early Emidiscs are rather difficult to date, but this version has the typical old matrix version of Electrola Gesellschaft m.b.H.. Later releases of EMI Electrola GmbH have only 5 digit & A1/B1

So this one is most likely released in 1971.
