This is the West Coast polystyrene pressing.  Record has the Monarch Record Mfg. delta matrix number in the dead wax (A side is ?56960 and B side (Tainted Love) is ?56960X.  Also, the record number (MR14003A & B) is present with the MR in a circle.  The B-Side, of course, was a huge hit when re-done by Soft Cell in 1981.  Ms. Jones' version is in a different key and a bit more up-tempo.
