Groovy Goodies album art
Groovy Goodies is a compilation album released by Colpix Records, with songs by James Darren, Sandy Stuart, Freddy Scott, The Marcels, Paul Petersen, Shelley Fabares, Teddy Randazzo, The Ronettes, and some others.
The title at the top is set in Hopplebopple, one of ten animated and hilariously named alphabets drawn by Richard Rosenblum and made available from Photo-Lettering in 1964.
No designer is credited, but it might be by Sid Maurer. Maurer is credited for the cover art of another album released by Colpix around the same time – Nina Simone’s Folksy Nina – which likewise used one of the Rosenblum’s then freshly released typefaces. In any case, Rosenblum’s style had quite a moment at Colpix: In Concert / Everybody’s Listening is a third example from that year.
Found by John, who is looking for in-use examples of Rosenblum’s phototype faces and related designs.
