“Popalp” is a piece of 1970s Swiss pop oddity produced by Michel Neuville and performed by Hermann Studer and his ensemble of alphorn players. The cover for the French release on the Seabird label depicts the Alps, but avoids the stereotypical choice of Helvetica and instead features Marianna. The balloon-like face by Samoan New Zealand designer Joseph Churchward was available in France from Hollenstein Phototypo.
