Rosenblum Chicamakomiko in early use for Folksy Nina, released by Colpix Records in 1964. The album by Nina Simone “includes live tracks recorded on April 12, 1963, at Carnegie Hall. The previous album, Nina Simone at Carnegie Hall (1963) uses songs from the same concert.” [Wikipedia]
Chicamakomiko was drawn by Richard Rosenblum and shown by Photo-Lettering in 1964, together with an outlined variant named Rosenblum Glockenheimer. Susana Carvalho digitized and extended the lively design in 2011. First made available from (the now defunct) photolettering.com around 2015, it’s now available from House Industries, as Plinc Chicamakomiko.
Found by John, who is currently tracking down Uses for some of the ten typefaces designed by Rosenblum.

For the stereo release, the art was moved down to make space for “Stereo” (in Century Expanded Bold) and the catalog number (in News Gothic).
