I think the types used for the logo were originally presstypes from Letraset around 1974.Color tint added much later. Can anybody identify the fonts (or something very close) and where they can be purchased?? Thanks.

Montreal is the best digital equivalent I could find for |MAGAZINE|:

Face Photosetting, font Stack
http://luc.devroye.org/fonts-51663.html

I have not found a digital version of Stack, but there is a somewhat similar idea in Disco Inferno NF https://www.myfonts.com/fonts/nicksfonts/disco-inferno-nf/ Gleam http://www.fontspace.com/rosemarydesign/gleam Nomitais http://californiafonts.com/fonts/12547/nomitais and Chocobot Stacked http://californiafonts.com/fonts/592/chocobot%20stacked

The closest to Face Photosetting's Stack is the font by Bright Ideas called Staxx, which was found by Ryuk.
Like Stack, Staxx has three layers, a shaded effect, and sharp corners. Stroke thickness and spacing between stacks are similar. Letter-forms for the capital letters are generally similar but the numbers are quite different. Major differences in the capital letters include the lack of a spur on _G_, angled instead of horizontal terminals on _S_, the curved stroke and terminal angles on _C_ and _G_, and the bottom stroke on _J_.
Comparison was made to the Stack specimen in my Letraset Product Manual. See the scan I posted in http://typophile.com/node/107360
Unfortunately, Staxx is unusable for commercial purposes because it is an orphan font by a defunct company, and there does not seem to be any legal owner of the intellectual property in its digital fonts.

Much thanks to all of you who responded so quickly for all of your help. It's greatly appreciated!!

Thank you very much in helping to ID this specimen.
