First released by United Artists Jazz in 1962, this is Solid State’s 1968 reissue of King Pleasure’s Mr. Jazz album, with a more attractive cover, designed by Alex Gnidziejko.
The spectacular three-dimensional typeface is Relievo No. 2, patented by Richard Smith for MacKellar, Smiths & Jordan in 1879. The border elements at the left and right are part of the typeface, too, see them in a period specimen.
