Kölsche Mösche (“The Cologne Sparrows” in the local dialect) is an alias used during carnival by the Quartettvereinigung Rheinland 1919. The men’s choir led by Heinz Eckert (1929–2015) recorded a couple of albums in the 1970s. This one, released in 1975 by Colorit and Music for Pleasure, comes with a cover photograph depicting Katz Castle with the famous Lorelei rock in the background.
The title is presented in François Boltana’s Stilla Caps (Letraset, 1974), with tight letterspacing and tildes used in place of dashes. The uncredited designer used those forms for the letters E, L, M and N that are not included in the digitizations by Linotype, Scangraphic and Elsner+Flake.
