Swiss Gothic (with Biform alternates) and Fiedler Gothic in early use for 18 Yellow Roses. The album by Bobby Darin (1936–1973) “debuted on the Cashbox albums chart in the issue dated July 20, 1963, remaining on that chart for a total of seven weeks and hitting a peak position of number 69.”

In his Allmusic review, critic Richie Unterberger praised the single “18 Yellow Roses” and its B-side “Not For Me” but generally panned the rest of the album, writing “otherwise 18 Yellow Roses sounds like a bit of a rush job rather than an artistic statement.”
