Country Music Shindig is an album by The Three Suns, released by RCA Victor Records in 1965. It’s the last Three Suns album produced by Al Nevins due to his untimely death in January 1965, at the age of 49.

The bold wide display typeface with horizontal contrast is Page No. 120. Originally a wood type design patented by William Hamilton Page in 1880, it was adopted by Headliners as part of their Morgan Press Collection and listed under catalog number MP 327. This cover likely is an early application of the phototype version.
