1971 LP by Canadian jazz-rock-fusion band Lighthouse which spawned an immensely popular single from its title track which hit No. 1 in Canada, No. 13 in the Netherlands, and No. 24 in the States. Originally released by GRT Records, the images show the US version by Evolution Records.

The psychedelic artwork is by Brad Johannsen. The band name is shown in bichromatic Mierop Ginger Snap (Photo-Lettering, 1969). The album title uses an unidentified geometric sans with Art Deco vibes. Chances are it’s Benguiat Herculoid. Free Zone is a match, but this font was released only in 2001. Designer Joffre LeFevre didn’t mention the source of his revival.

The back cover is set in  or similar.
