Black Casual, the phototype adaptation of Walter Haettenschweiler’s Lettre Coupé, is probably best known as one of the arcane alphabets of Black Sabbath: it was used on the cover of their 1970 album Paranoid.

Here it can be seen in use on a 1975 French single sleeve by Seven Seas, with music produced Steve Alaimo, Clarence “Blowfly” Reid, and Willie Clarke.

From record collector oopswhoops:

Excellent Jawsploitation Funk instrumentals.
1975 French pressing on RCA-Victor label.

The record probably was released around the time Steven Spielberg’s JAWS came to movie theaters fifty years ago.
