Solitude was a French rock band active in the early 1970s. This single, released in 1973 on the Theleme label, comes with a typographic sleeve that features two typefaces available from Letraset. The song titles are in Desdemona Solid, a revival of a design that originated as Quaint at the Dickinson foundry in the 1880s, here used with inappropriate straight quotes. The band name is composed in Gary. The latter appears to be a Letraset original issued in 1970, when Art Nouveau was en vogue again.

The Theleme logo uses caps from Frankonia.
