Switzerland Volume 16 ("Volume 6") (33 022)
This album was released in Switzerland on 8-track cartridge (above) and cassette (below) as "Volume 6", although it corresponds to the UK Volume 16 of spring 1971. Given the topical nature of these albums, it is a fair guess that this was when it was released. This is particularly intriguing, since the first Top of the Pops album known to be released in the UK on cassette was volume 20, while 8-tracks were not introduced until 1973!
The 8-track has the logo +ML+ on the spine, but nothing much else. Collectors and discographers of Swiss records sometimes assume that ML is a record label, but it is not. The ML logo signifies Mechanlizenz - who are a performing rights organisation governing the industry in Switzerland.
This seems to be one release in a series, called Car-music. 8-tracks and cassettes were very popular for in-car use in the 1970s.

Cassette edition
There is very little information available on the labels. The cassette insert above has nothing at all on the inside, and French text on the cassette label. The artwork is a straight crop from the UK LP cover and the tracks are also in the same order.
