Ahead of The Beatles’ White Album by a full decade, Somethin’ Else by Cannonball Adderley features only a plain black background, allowing the typography to take center stage. All text is set in all-caps Franklin Gothic extra-condensed, with the album title and catalog number in white, artist name in yellow, and side musicians in blue.

As is typical with Blue Note Records releases of this era, the back cover uses mostly Bodoni, with Futura for the track titles, and some Vogue at the bottom.
