According to Wikipedia, 101 Strings Orchestra “was the brand for a highly successful easy listening symphonic music organization, with a discography exceeding 150 albums”, selling “more than 50,000,000 records worldwide”. This album with easy listening interpretations of movie themes was released in 1972 by Alshire Records, an US budget label founded by Al Sherman.

The main typeface is Richard D. Juenger’s Jana, used mostly in all caps. “MOVIES” and the name of arranger and conductor Jack Dorsey are added in Optima. The informal script is Filmotype Korea. The 101 Strings logo is either custom calligraphy or based on an unidentifid formal script.
