could anyone identify any of the fonts used on this sleeve?

could anyone identify any of the fonts used on this sleeve? Most importantly the title font that reads Danny Kaye. Thx

"Oh, Really? No, O'Malley" could be Century Schoolbook or a Scotch italic.

"DANNY KAYE" could be Century as well. Font Bureau's version looks close enough.

This is pre-digital, so any suggestions will likely be close but not exact.

"BACKED WITH" appears to be Futura Book (or Light) Italic.

"DANNY KAYE" is Century Schoolbook Bold Condensed. Bitstream's is good, but the strokes are a tiny bit heavier than in this image.

"MYTI KAYSI" and "SONG"...based on the S and M, I like Railroad Gothic or Gothic No. 13. However, Railroad's A has a much thinner crossbar.

"DODGERS" appears to be Akzidenz Grotesk Bold Condensed, or one of its derivatives.

Agree that "Oh, Really?" is Century Schoolbook Italic.

I would hazard a guess that "R-20,105" is News Gothic Bold. It could also be Franklin Gothic, bue News Gothic's 1 seems to me to be a better match.
