Detail
The insert gives us a few snippets of info - one of which is the retail price of 77p per LP, shortly after decimalisation. The detail below gives us two points of interest:
Volume 21 is listed, complete with its exact release date - December 8, 1971.
And the album Top of the Poppers Present The Beatles' Golden Hits is also listed. We know that this LP changed its title to Sing & Play at some point, but do not know exactly when. Since the insert was printed prior to the release of Volume 21, we can deduce that the LP was still called Present... as late as December 1971.
