    There is also Letraset Stack in use on it!

  2. Henning! Nice to see you here.

    Of course, that’s Stack. Added, thanks!

    For good measure, I have expanded the post with an image of the East German version, designed by Gerd Semder and printed by VEB Gotha-Druck (“Verpackung nach TGL 10609”). I’m pretty sure the two-colored geometric letterforms are derived from a typeface, too, but I can’t put my finger on it right now. They also appear on the LP cover. Something between Optex, Dubbeldik and Joc Line

  3. You Could Have Told Me looks like Helvetica Black, I suggest.

  4. Agreed, thanks. The remaining unidentified typeface is the bi-line face for “The Rubettes” in the second image. It can always be custom drawn, of course.
