From Wikipedia:

A Warm Shade of Ivory is a 1969 album by American composer and arranger Henry Mancini issued by RCA Records. The album peaked at No. 5 on the Billboard Album Chart on 2 August 1969. Mancini’s arrangement of Nino Rota’s Love Theme from Romeo and Juliet topped the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart on June 28, 1969, and remained there for two weeks.

This album interests me because the version of Bookman on it is condensed. No idea where it comes from – Letraset’s Bookman Bold Condensed wasn’t released until 1980. There’s also a smaller made-for-text version for the purple and black text.
