I think we may have discussed this before but maybe not on SS. Anyone shed any light on this oddity? Never heard it or got any info on it. Not a Karen # and I doubt had anything to do with Ollie Mac but the font's too similar to just be a coincidence?

Strange One

I think the font is not the same, it's just an unrelated coincidence that they used cursive / script I think.

Definitely a strange release, Logo's exactly the same including the flourish from the n in Karen.

That's where it ends as far as clues are concerned.

mmmm don't know.

Anyone ?

The Karen logo is identical - so in those days must have been a straight copy from a real Karen record surely (not like using a computer sourced font these days)?

Anyone know what it sounds like -and how good/bad the record is?

sorry, I guess Roger's side-by-side comparison proves me wrong.

maybe someone with more info can provide more details, but they didn't have canned "fonts" in those days that you could just produce the same script like that, did they? especially a script one like that? so it had to be copied somehow, like traced / mimeographed. I still think the labels are unrelated though. There are examples of other unrelated labels stealing parts of each others' graphics. For example, that "tina" label that stole the Twinight "T". The owner of Trans World Sound told me he stole the picture of a globe from Pan Am...
