  1. The unidentified face is another one drawn by Ed Benguiat: This one’s named Benguiat Discotheque. It might have been made in response to the Jugendstil revival of the late 1960s, and in particular to Heinz Keune’s Edda (Schelter & Giesecke, 1900), which was reissued by Lettergraphics and Facetype around this time.

    Ok, but who is the Dude on the cover? Who is Mr Big stuff?

    the credits/track listing on the back cover might be set in either Folio or Univers. not sure though.

  4. Thanks, Jae! It’s Helvetica: the Q is the tell-tale glyph here. Added.
