The majority of the insert (excluding one side of the track list).
The title is set in the heavy version of ITC Serif Gothic with its alternate circular capital E on full display. Secondary typefaces include the light version of Futura Condensed (used for the last names of the original artists, “53 Min”, and “79 804”), Twentieth Century Ultrabold (used for “Classics”), Helvetica Condensed (used for “Stereo”) and Helvetica (for the remainder of the text). The LaserLight logo at the bottom is based on ITC Avant Garde Gothic Condensed.

That scripted version of the LaserLight logo appears to be an unknown font or possibly custom, which the lowercase appears to look like Modern/Scotch Roman or even Century Italic, and the capital L seems similar to Morris Fuller Benton’s Commercial Script and has variations.
What do you think?
It’s Poppl-Exquisit with the alternates included in the original phototype version. They are not covered in the “Pro” digitization offered by Berthold Types Ltd.
