José Grande and His Orchestra – Rudolph Valentino Tangos album art
Around 1959, Parade Records released an album with tango interpretations recorded by an anonymous group dubbed “José Grande and His Orchestra”. It was named after Italian actor and original “Latin Lover” Rudolph Valentino (1895–1926). The album title is presented in Filmotype Jupiter and Franklin Gothic Extra Condensed. While the band name and the subtitle “Tangos in the grand manner” use Futura, the track names are in the similar Vogue.
Spin-O-Rama, another budget label related to Parade Records, reused the design for their pressing, see above. The art was mirrored, the colors changed, and some elements rearranged, but the typography stayed the same.
A few years later, Spin-O-Rama reused the same art again, this time for Morales Plays Latin Favorites.
