This album by Shirley Bassey was recorded live at London’s Pigalle Club on 12 September 1965. Originally released in the UK as Shirley Bassey at the Pigalle, it was retitled to In Person in the US, as it apparently was “believed that ‘The Pigalle’ would be too obscure to Americans.” [Wikipedia]
The title is in green caps from a phototype version of Constantia, unfortunately with ungainly slanting and too tight spacing. Constantia was first issued in circa 1899. It originated at the Bauer & Co foundry in Stuttgart, which was acquired by Berthold shortly before.
