From record seller dany_the_avenger:
Rare single by the Belgian underground band Banzai who made a sought after LP, well played complex tune with great keys & rhythm section. Produced by the ex-Pebbles Luc Smets.
The sleeve design pairs two typefaces with letterforms exclusively defined by shadows: Umbra is a shaded all-caps version of Robert Hunter Middleton’s Tempo, issued in the 1930s. Buster was designed by Tony Wenman for Letraset in 1972, referencing 19th-century novelty faces. Someone got cold feet and added a second color, so that the band name in Buster becomes more readable.
