Cover designer Burt Portnoy loved to work with Futura Display. He relied on Paul Renner’s 1930s design in the style of gas-pipe lettering for several albums by Koko Records. This one is by flamenco guitarist Carlos Varga, released in 1962. Unfortunately, Portnoy misspelled the artist’s name – the back cover and the labels have it right.
