Born in Birmingham, Alabama, and grown up in Memphis, Tennessee, Bill Justis (1926–1982) was an American pioneer rock and roll musician, composer, and musical arranger, best known for his 1957 Grammy Hall of Fame song, “Raunchy”.

The typographic cover shown here is for an album with instrumental hits, released in 1965 on Smash Records, a subsidiary of Mercury Records. The uncredited design mimicks a concertina fold, with the lines of text alternating between slanted and backslanted treatments.
