Top Drawer was a psychedelic rock band from Mansfield, Ohio, that released one single album, Solid Oak. The album was recorded at Fultz Recording Studio in Louisville, Kentucky. The first song of the album, “Song Of A Sinner” brought the band fame.

The cover, which does not mention a designer, show an almost faceless band framed by the band name set in Mania and the album title set in Flash. As one would expect with a band almost named upper case, all typography is set in capitals, with the addition of faux small caps for the album title.

The 2022 rerelase of the album by Guerssen Records is adorned with a banderole using artwork from the original back cover: a bare chested band portrait, a divining rod and the band name set in Smoke.
