Cover of the original release
Swingin’ New Big Band is a 1966 album from famed drummer Buddy Rich and his big band, recorded live at The Chez in Hollywood, CA.
The artist name and title on the front cover, as well as the track listing on the back cover, are set in Palisade Graphic, with the “Buddy Rich” and track listing text stretched to essentially create an artificial condensed style. The “Recorded ‘Live’ at the Chez” text is set in a thin weight of Eurostile. “Hollywood, California” is added in Univers Condensed.
For the stereo version, the whole design was shifted to the bottom, as it was commonly done.
