From Wikipedia:

Exit is the sixteenth major release and eleventh studio album by the German group Tangerine Dream. The first track features an uncredited Berlin actress chanting, in Russian, the names of the continents of the world and pleading to end the threat of “limited” nuclear war, which was a potential danger facing the world during the late Cold War era in which the album was released. Exit reached № 43 in the UK, spending five weeks on the chart.

This is the cover art of U.S. release on Elektra Records, with the title set in Corporate Image. The album was released in Germany and elsewhere on Virgin Records with a different design featuring Futura Black (not shown here). Cover design by Monica Froese, who is credited as Monique Froese.

  1. Thanks to Florian for the larger version of the covers and for clarifying that there were different covers outside of the U.S.!

  2. You’re welcome, Alex!

    By the way, I was curious to see whether Corporate Image was available in Germany. And indeed catalogs by the Fürst typesetting chain include faces by Alphabet Innovations. Corporate Image is shown in a 1975 catalog.
