This compilation album with twenty hits by artists such as Jerry Butler, Little Anthony & The Imperials, Ray Sharpe, Marvin & Johnny, The Dubs, and The Innocents was released around 1962 by Mark-FI Records in Hollywood, California.
The cover was printed in two colors, pink and black, with the title shown in Jim Crow. The big “20” at the top left is lettering based on this octagonal open and shaded sans with stripe fill. “Twenty hit oldies” is in Figaro and “by the stars who made them famous!!!!!!!!” in Filmotype Windsor. The side headings are in another Filmotype release, the wide railroad slab Western. The names of songs and artists are set in Consort, using mostly the condensed width.
