Marty Robbins – The Drifter album art

Columbia Records, also known as CBS Records outside the US, had a special affinity for Nesbitt’s Gothic and put it to work across different genres and artists, from rock, to pop, to country, on seemingly dozens of releases during the 1960s.

Here, the 1966 Marty Robbins album The Drifter – subtitled on the back as “Great Adventure Songs of the Gunfighter” – proudly displays one of Columbia’s most frequently called upon fonts.
