According to Wikipedia, “Synthetics Plastics Company or SPC of Newark, New Jersey was a plastics manufacturing company that made various items made of plastic including children’s records and budget music albums.”
Around the mid-1960s, the label released a series of easy listening albums credited to the Sunset Strings, always with a photo of a dreamy young woman on the cover. Each of the titles is set in Photo-Lettering’s Jeremy. It’s always the boldest weight, but sometimes it’s used with condensed and/or slanted letterforms.
The formal script for “Sunset Strings” is either an unidentified typeface or custom lettering.

I don’t know if there are other albums that used Jeremy?
Found one! This book called The Daughters of Ardmore Hall by Dorothy Eden used Jeremy in all caps
Aberman Concave Gothic (from Photo-Lettering) is similar a bit to Jeremy
Here’s the samples
