Mark Simonson:

This Columbia Records Benny Goodman Sextet album seems to have some Joan Miró influence. Spaced out Bodoni Italic, dotted lines, bee-bop cartouches — what's not to like? Notice how they advertise that the records are "unbreakable." This must have been a big marketing issue at the time.

According to collector Paul Morris, the cover was designed in 1946 by George Maas.
