The Rainbow Valley Boys and Sweetheart were a bluegrass band formed by Bob and Grace French together with Louis Arsenault and Buddy Jones in 1961. Their second album came out in 1965 on Diplomat Records.

The uncredited cover designer used Filmotype Party for the title. This animated take on Cooper Black was released by Filmotype in 1955, together with the narrower Peruvian and the wider Plato. The band name is in another face by the phototype pioneers from Chicago: it’s Quest, a variant of their sans serif Flyer that emulates chalk lettering. Song names are set in all-caps Futura Bold, which was carried by Filmotype as “F5”.
