that's what I thought as I've only ever seen the 'Hank Marvin' 1969 solo album on silver box/black label - that 1969 Paul Jones solo album 'Come Into My Music Box' was 'black/silver box' too but in mono & stereo versions, as was Jeff Beck's 'Beck Ola' album, while later 1969 albums were stereo only.
There was another much later Columbia label too - Our local Virgin shop was relocating circa 1988 to larger premises & had a 'clearout' sale to shift stock minus proper covers - CDs & vinyl LPs minus covers were selling for 50 pence each !
I grabbed Beatles, Cat Stevens, & Yes CDs for 50p plus on looking through the 'non sleeve' LPs was surprised to find a stereo 'More Hits - The Shadows' but on a later 'cream' coloured Columbia label with brown lettering and the Columbia title was in the older style of the late fifties - it was a latter day vinyl release being quite thin compared to years ago
this design must have superceeded the seventies 'silver box' design.
