Hollywood Studio Orchestra – Peter Pan album art
Papageno for Peter Pan: the oblique caps with the soft contours are from the only published typeface design by Richard Weber. The Bauer foundry in Frankfurt/Main, Germany, advertised their 1958 release as “eine fröhliche Schrift” (“a cheerful typeface”).
Tale Spinners for Children was the American name for a series of vinyl records with stories and novels adapted for young audiences. Originating in the United Kingdom as Atlas Tales-Spinners, these records were introduced to the U.S. under the United Artists Records label. From the back cover:
THE TALE-SPINNERS FOR CHILDREN introduces an exciting new concept on records for young people. Every album in the series combines three major ingredients: classic stories for all young people; a fine theatrical company plus a famous actor or actress playing the title role, and the music of the Hollywood Studio Orchestra providing the finest background possible. Through the magic of TALE-SPINNERS, young listeners are exposed to the finest literature, and a form of classical music pre-sented in a most attractive setting.
The Peter Pan record was issued in 1967, with cover art by Frank Gauna. The casual sans-serif caps are fairly similar to Catalina, a 1957 release by Headliners, but with a different R and N.
