The third album from New Orleans funk quartet The Meters features this distinctive cover, with the artwork echoing the reflective quality of Electus. This typeface by Photo-Lettering is an adaptation of Electric Circus, a custom alphabet by Brownjohn, Chermayeff & Geismar. PLINC’s version is distinguished by a few details, most notably an R with diagonal leg.

The logo of Josie – a subsidiary of Jubilee Records that was active from 1954 to 1971 – is in Montgomery Pousse Cafe. Track names and credits are set in Memphis.
