Flip Wilson with Special Guest David Frost – The Flip Wilson Show album art
This album by comedian Flip Wilson with special guest David Frost contains material from his TV show on NBC, The Flip Wilson Show. It was released in 1970 on Wilson’s own Little David Records – named after his son David, who in turn was named for the biblical David.
While the title and subline are set in Windsor Bold, “What You See Is What You Get” – a phrase popularized by Geraldine Jones, a recurring character played by Wilson wearing women’s clothing – uses an italicized style from D’Amico Jamian. This casual animated sans was drawn by James D’Amico for Photo-Lettering in the early 1960s. The heavy grot on the sticker is Folio extrafett.
The shown cover appears to be a variant – other versions show light bulb lettering spelling out “FLIP”. The packaging concept for the die-cut gatefold cover is by Album Graphics, Inc. Norbert Jobst takes credit for the cover design including the photography. Art direction by Sid Maurer.
