Earth and Fire – Earth and Fire album art

First edition on Polydor Medium, front cover, using Kabel Black
Earth and Fire’s eponymous debut album released in September 1970, with a cover design by Ron Seubert.
A few releases have a gimmick release in that it opens up like a matchbox: the photo part opens upwards, the bottom flap downwards. The inner sleeve has a print of a set of matches. Just a few international releases and a 2012 reissue on the Music On Vinyl label (images below are from this issue) use the matchbox gimmick cover. The artwork is used on other releases, but just on a regular cardboard sleeve.
The original versions use Kabel Black in lowercase letters for the band name on the front cover and the inside. Later versions used ITC Kabel (1975).

Another release uses a Roger Dean cover with a different font, Old English.
