A 1950 spoken-word album by Decca Records containing vinyl record interpretations of two Christmas stories by Charles Dickens: “A Christmas Carol”, directed by George Wells and featuring Ronald Colman as Scrooge, and “Mr. Pickwick’s Christmas”, with narration by Charles Laughton.

For the titles of the stories, the elusive Streamline Block unexpectedly makes an appearance for “A Christmas Carol”, while Warren Chappell's Lydian is used for “Mr. Pickwick’s Christmas”, under which the similar Valiant can be seen for Charles Laughton's name. The secondary text is set in Futura and its condensed style (or, perhaps, a local copy of the same typeface.)
