This is one of the most recognizable, specific zipper variants for Pathé Marconi European (and especially French) pressings from that period.
The letter A (often surrounded by a small circle or square) refers to the French zipper manufacturer Éclair (or a specific production line of theirs), which supplied the zippers to the record sleeve printer at the time.
This means for your LP:
• You have the variant collectors specifically describe as the "Zipper: A / Made in France" version.
• Because the zippers were inserted into the sleeves by hand or in batches at the time (a very expensive and complex process), the factory used whatever was locally available. The letter A proves that this sleeve was manufactured locally in France for this specific pressing.
The combination of the catalog number 2C 070 63152 on the sleeve, the M6 factory code in the vinyl, and the A zipper makes this copy a wonderful, 100% fully documented example of this French classic!
