Harmony Records HS-11350, “a product of Columbia Records”
A phototype adaptation of Nesbitt’s Gothic of 1837 seems to have been a go-to font for Columbia Records during their 1960s heyday – you’ll find plenty of uses, from Dylan to the Byrds to Jeff Beck as you flip through used record stores.
According to Wikipedia, Columbia revived the name Harmony Records as an imprint of budget-priced record albums and compilations – which ultimately proved so popular they acquired and reissued records from other companies, including Warner Bros. and Reprise.
This album, Christmas with the Everly Brothers, was previously issued by Warner Bros. as WS 1483 in 1962, with fanciful circus-style type. For the Columbia-Harmony reissue shown here, it used their trusty Gothic.
