This compilation of so-called barbershop music was released by Decca Records in 1960. It celebrates the last ten winners of the Barbershop Harmony Society’s annual international chorus competition: the Buffalo Bills, the Schmitt Brothers, Four Teens, Vikings, the Orphans, Four Hearsemen, Confederates, Lads of Enchantment, Gay Notes, and Four Pitchikers.
The large number 10 is probably drawn without using a font. “Years of Barbershop Champions” is set in the Heavy weight from Ludlow’s Radiant. The names of the winning quartets are set in Alternate Gothic, likewise in all caps. “Official Recordings” inside the trophy is in Typo Script.
