Ignace Baert is a Flemish singer-songwriter born in Kortrijk in 1950. He started his career as a member of the Lilac Street Band. This single is his first release as solo artist, under the name Ignace.

The typefaces used on the sleeve both stem from Berthold’s phototype library. Tip-Top was revived from a turn-of-the-century typeface that Berthold had acquired together with the Klinkhardt foundry in 1920. Santana was a fairly new release, added in 1972 and credited to A.M. Barth and Hans Reichel. The unknown sleeve designer used exclusively lowercase characters for the title of the A-side, and exclusively capitals for that of the B-side.

  1. The same combination of typefaces was already used a year earlier, for Pascal et Dominique’s album Croisière en Corse, released in 1972 by Triumph Records.
