The January 1963 Capitol/Angel Catalog shows a thumbnail picture of the non-generic cover, but it doesn't offer any additional information. Presumably, the latter cover version did include some more specific liner notes.
WorldCat (www.worldcat.org) shows copies if the LP in 50 libraries: http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/23712478&tab=holdings&ht=edition
The catalog at Western Washington University shows:
Note: Program notes in English by Giulio Confalónieri on container.
Performers: Sidney Gallesi, oboe (1st work) ; Orchestra Alessandro Scarlatti ; Franco Caracciolo, conductor.
Note: First work arr. by Arthur Benjamin from selected numbers of the 32 sonatas for keyboard. Cf. Notes, 2d ser., v. 12, no. 4 (Sep. 1955) p. 536. Third work compiled and orchestrated by Felix Mottl, from excerpts taken from Lully operas and court ballets.
So apparently there were liner notes (by Giulio Confalónieri) on the later pressing/printing.

I'll bet an e-mail to the librarian at WWU could get you a scan of those notes.
And here's what the catalog at Rutgers shows:
