Hi, upcoming saturday is Museumnacht in Amsterdam. All the museums and galleries will be open late and have event. I am going to be part of a team of stylists, make-up artists, and so on, who will let visitors get proper make-up, a photo shoot, and be put in a classic record cover of their choice. I will be the graphic designer, which means I have to find out which typefaces were used in these covers, so I can put it all together on the spot. So, I need some extra eyes to find the right ones. I would never hear the end of it if I used the wrong ones, Amsterdam is pretty crowded with Typo/Popular Culture-people.

Ok, here they are:

Good luck: most of these are handrawn/custom/modified.
For example, "SUPERNATURAL" is a modified Bifur

"Arctic Monkeys" is custom, "Thriller" and "Nina Hagen" are handmade.

Ah, Bifur, that was it. And yep, there is a lot of handmade here.

Aladdin Sane reminds me of a font called Crystal (SoloType catalogue?, not identical with the several digital fonts now available under that name), which I only have as a knockoff called "Caza":

Madonna uses Futura.

Thanks a lot! I was really wondering about the Bowie cover.

Goldfrapp uses ATMatra for SUPERNATURE

Not sure about the other one.

Goldfrapp uses ATMatra for SUPERNATURE

Good catch! :-)

Garamond would do if not be the font used for Bowie - gradient in illustrator or photochop

The Prince cover looks like it uses Engravers Gothic.

Madonna cover uses an italic Futura for "CELEBRATION" and I thought the "MADONNA" was Bell Gothic, but it isn't. It has large traps like that though.
