A number one hit in Germany (and no. 2 in the UK charts) in the summer of 1971, “Co-Co” was made the opener of The Sweet’s debut album released later that year.

With the combination of wide and narrow letterforms, this looks a lot like Organda. It actually is a shadowless version of Epic, though.

  1. Czech-language cover version by Valérie Čižmárová (‘Koko’) recorded 22nd September 1971 – please see the ‘Valérie Čižmárová: A Life In Sound’ page of the fan blog ‘Bananas For Breakfast’.

    Interesting that the font should have been partially ‘named after’ another record label (Epic), with the original appearing on RCA.
