Mark Radice (b. 1957) had an early entry into the world of music. The son of a well-known recording engineer, he started writing songs at the age of seven – and got a record deal with RCA Records the same year.
Shown here is the cover of his full-length debut LP, released in July 1972 on Paramount Records. The design is by Sid Maurer (1926–2017), who himself entered the business at a younger age than most others: he was hired by Columbia Records as assistant art director at seventeen. Maurer is also credited with the personal management of Radice. For the type, he chose the contoured and shaded Papirtis Pink Mouse E, set on a circle.
