Franklin Gothic?

Is this a trick question? I would say no. Looks more like Trade Gothic Condensed, Alternate Gothic, etc.

Oh, man. Everything above made me laugh aloud. The terse question, the somehow ironic image, and the incredulous, Socratic reply. It was all in the timing and presentation.

It's also 1:45 a.m. and I'm getting punchy. A fine way to end the day.

Thanks for the laugh.

you are welcome to the laugh.. microspective.
: )
but axually it was no joke or bluff.

the W looks like it has been "narrowed" to fit.. or what do you say?
it was the ! that made me think it was Franklin Gothic.

The album was released in June 1981 so I reckon the design was not made with computer.

Didn't mean to sound like a smart arse, I would not have thought of Franklin Gothic when seeing this, but after finding THIS last night, who knows.
