Cover for an album released in 1968 by Boston-based “power” trio Eden’s Children consisting of Jimmy Sturman (drums), Larry Kiley (bass) and Richard “Sham” Schmack (guitar, vocals) which remained active from 1966 to to the year (1968) where the album was introduced. A reissue of this album appeared in 2011 by Sweet Dandelion Records in the UK.

The title of this record is lettering based on Bosco Silhouette, an Art Deco-inspired typeface designed by Alfred R. Bosco for Photo-Lettering, and was added to the foundry’s library before 1950. Differences in the glyphs are the customized letter H (which in the font’s sample looks like a rotated X), and D, R, and S glyphs appear to be modified with some stretching and added counters/notches.
