This album was first released by Pye Golden Guinea Records in the UK in 1963 and by Somerset in the US in 1964 as Flaming Bluegrass Banjos, The personnel of the recording is a bit of a mystery, see this discussion on Banjo Hangout. Shown here is the cover of an undated re-release by Alshire, a budget record label founded in Burbank, California, in 1964. Alshire bundled it as a “Deluxe 2 Record Set” together with Country + Bluegrass = Wild Oats from 1971.

The uncredited designer combined three typefaces from Filmotype’s “Novelty” range: Quaker (an inline version of Cameo), Quilt (a French Clarendon with split shade), and Queen (a shaded variant of Arbor). The band name and the titles are set in what looks like Monotype Clarendon Condensed – this design is listed as CLA51 in an early-1970s Filmomaster catalog.
