  1. This record cover from 1966 presents a wonderfully chromatic and remarkably early use of Milton Glaser’s Baby Fat. The typeface was shown in Photo-Lettering, Inc.’s 1967 Alphabet Yearbook. Glaser himself used it for his Simon & Garfunkel concert poster from January 1967. Could this cover be the work of Glaser, too? He is credited with another record cover for Columbia from this year, see The Baroque Inevitable.

    Not sure what happened to all those mıssıng tıttles in the small gothic …

  2. The folks of Groove is in the Art also have an image of this record cover. There, the ‘i’ dots are all present.
