Kinksize Session is the first EP from British rock group The Kinks, released in the UK in 1964 shortly after their first LP.

The cover features extra-large, all-caps settings of Franklin Gothic and Antique Olive Nord incorporated with a photo of the band to further accentuate the Kinksized sense of scale. The back cover is less confidently styled, using a hodgepodge of British sans-serifs in a somewhat awkward composition.

Art direction by Ed Thrasher, featuring Hess Neobold, originally designed by Sol Hess for Lanston Monotype in 1933. This is probably VGC’s version for the Photo Typositor, slightly condensed. The exclamation mark is from a different source – maybe a squeezed Pistilli Roman?

“A modified cover issued a few months after its release to emphasize the inclusion of the hit song A Well Respected Man.” — Discogs
