1972 record by Bahamian guitarist and singer Joseph Spence (1910–1984), released on Arhoolie Records. The cover was designed by Wayne Pope, using a photo by Dick Waterman and the Introspect typeface. The style used with outline for the artist’s name matches the Bold weight of URW’s digitization. The title, set in all caps on a circle and featuring symmetrical AKA sign painters’ quotes, is equivalent to the Condensed Bold. Introspect is credited to Phil Martin and was originally released by Alphabet Innovations just one year earlier, in 1971.

The liner notes by Jack Viertel are set in , accompanied by a photo by Andrew Ltd. Nassau. The track list appears to be set with IBM’s Selectric Composer, at least that’s what the unusual metrics of  suggest.
