Cover for an easy listening album first released in 1959 as Tribute to Jerome Kern by Stradivari Strings, Al Goodman’s Orchestra (Spin-O-Rama). Other versions include The Music Of Jerome Kern (Gala Records, 1961) and Ping Pong Percussion Jerome Kern (Spin-O-Rama, 1964). This undated version credited to The Limelight Strings was released by Power Records in the Apple Honey Series probably sometime in the late 1960s or early 1970s.

The band name is in all-lowercase Schmale Herold, the compressed style added to Berthold’s Herold series in 1904. The title combines slightly stretched Umbra, the shaded variant of Ludlow’s Tempo, and Sans Serif Shaded. Track names are set in caps from Windsor Elongated.
