Cover of the vinyl release. The track names appear to be in all-caps Trade Gothic or similar.

Lydian was highly popular in the 1940s and 1950s, and now is so again. Between the mid-1970s and the 2010s, however, it largely disappeared from use. Here’s a rare example of Lydian Cursive from the 1980s, for an EP by The Pogues. Poguetry in Motion was released on Stiff Records in 1986.

The photograph by Tom Collins shows the band members with a smiling Shane MacGowan (1957–2023) in the center. Hand tinting by Amelia Stein.
