This just in…

An early example of the wild and wonderful Stromberg Graphic dated to 1966! For The Troggs’s debut US album (originally released as From Nowhere), the little known typeface created by Harvey Stromberg and issued by Photo-lettering is used in reverse for the album’s name and for the B-side’s opening track, “With A Girl Like You”. Along with that, the trailblazing Cooper Black appears as the typeface below the title for additional songs on the album, with Monotype Grotesque for the tracks and Jere Real’s liner notes on the back. An alternate design for the album eliminates Stromberg in favor of Airport Black, except for the band name.
