From Wikipedia:

The Whole Thing Started with Rock and Roll Now It’s Out of Control is the second studio album by American singer and keyboardist Ray Manzarek. Released on the Mercury label in 1974 the album did not succeed and failed in sales, it was also Ray’s last album before forming the now defunct rock band Nite City in 1977.

The artist’s name and album title are set in Earth. Additional text is set in ITC Avant Garde Gothic, employing its alternate 1. (And, if you count the reflection of Manzarek’s Minimoog keyboard, some Futura too.)

Art direction by Desmond Strobel and John David Moore.
