This classical music album was released in 1978 by Columbia Odyssey. It features three musical pieces by various composers, performed by pianist Gary Graffman (b. 1928): Sonata No. 4 by Benjamin Lees, Suite, Op. 14 by Béla Bartók, and Sonata No. 2 in D Minor, Op. 14 by Sergei Prokofiev.

The striped typeface is Karl Hermann Schaefer’s Fatima, originally released in 1933 and effectively serving as a more decorative counterpart to Schriftguss’s earlier Capitol by the same designer. Accompanying it is the ultralight Gershwin, released in 1968 as a Face Photosetting original. The back of the album possesses a third art deco-inspired typeface: Vladimir Andrich’s Slenderella Refined, which looks like ITC Kabel from a distance if it weren’t for a few key differences in the glyphs.
