The Exotic Guitars were a group featuring session guitarist Al Casey (1936–2006). They recorded a number of easy listening albums, produced by Randy Wood and issued on his Ranwood label.
On all ten (!) albums released between 1968 and 1972, the band name is shown in Victory, which was a phototype revival of Flinsch’s Victoria (before 1900), made by Lettergraphics in the second half of the 1960s. Later, in 1976, Freda Sack would do a reinterpretation for Letraset under the name Victorian. On four of the first five albums, the track names are in all-caps Caslon Antique.
The Ranwood Records logo with Fantail and Craw Modern was covered in a previous post.
