Telarc’s 1986 release of The Planets as recorded by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra under the guidance of André Previn (1929–2019) has a cover that depicts the planets – and not only the featured seven, but all nine planets of our solar system, including Earth and Pluto.
Cover design by RasicArt with an illustration by A.I.R. Studio Inc. and art direction by Ray Kirschensteiner (1942–2021). The featured typeface is Germanic Sans. Designed by Acey Cypres for Headliners in 1970, it’s similar to Harpers, which was also used for an album cover for The Planets.
