All-lowercase Cooper Black, all-caps Akzidenz-Grotesk, grandiose braces, and a photo (by Sid Avery) of Allan Sherman on a marble pedestal, for My Son, the Folk Singer. From Wikipedia:
On the album sleeve, the title appears directly below the words “Allan Sherman’s mother presents.”
The album, recorded before a live audience, is filled with reference to Jewish culture and in-jokes. His second album followed suit. The album was nominated for a Grammy Award for Album of the Year (other than classical) at the 5th Annual Grammy Awards.
