Fresh Cream is the debut album of UK three-piece Cream. Originally released in 1966 on Reaction Records in UK, shown above is the 1967 US album cover released on ATCO Records, featuring Roberta for the band name – vastly different than the drawn out typography on the UK cover (see the end of this post). Below is the German copy on Polydor Records featuring Ludlow Black with elongated lower halves.
The design is credited to Paragon Publicity and Public Relations Ltd., London. Chances are that this refers to the original UK release, and that the type treatments for the American and German versions were done by others.
