Instructions are on the inlay.

This was THE demo provided with every new Oric Atmos.
Side B holds the ALC program (Automatic Level Control), described on the inlay. I suppose it corrects the loading routines, preventing the computer to detect errors before the program actually started loading (bug corrected in later Atmos ROMs).
To be verified, I'm only guessing...

Note:
