From Wikipedia:

Apollo 100 was a short-lived British instrumental group that had a U.S. Billboard Hot 100 top 10 hit with the Johann Sebastian Bach-inspired single “Joy” in 1972.

This is the cover of the album of the same name, released on Mega Records in March 1972. The squarish caps with shadow are from Fat Albert, drawn by Ray Cruz for Schaedler. The group’s name, “featuring Tom Parker” and “includes the hit version of Bach’s great instrumental” are set in a couple of weights from VGC’s Harry. Art direction by Herb Burnette, with photography by John Donegan.
