From Wikipedia:

Through the Past, Darkly (Big Hits Vol. 2) is the third compilation album by the English rock band the Rolling Stones, released in September 1969 by Decca Records in the UK and London Records/ABKCO Records in the US. […]

The name of the album is a play on a line from the KJV translation of 1 Corinthians 13: “For now we see through a glass, darkly, but then face to face…”

The font used for the band’s name and title is Windsor Elongated, with Akzidenz-Grotesk schmal fett for the text in parentheses. Cover design by John Kosh, with photography by Ethan Russell.
