Does this Ventures EP ring any bells?

Similar cover to the Apache EP, which I bought in France in 1962.

I've got this one and 2 other French EP's bought to get tracks that at the time were unavailable elsewhere - if only we'd known what was coming! This one has the best cover by a distance.

Had the B&W 'Dakota' EP as well but sold it when 'Dance With' came out.

I think there were two of those EP's produced in the sixties, were there not? I recall having the one pictured and another with a similar photo which, I think, contained 'Saturday Dance', which I bought by mail order for around 10/6d when I was about 14. So much money, so long ago and sadly now long gone. I'm puzzled about the EP sleeve's credited photographer tho'. So that's what Alf Garnet was doing before he made TV big time eh?! I guess he moved on to bigger cameras!
