Best answer

The extrabold caps are from the Expanded 10 style of Murray Hill Gothic.

 

The diagonally cut terminals in letters like C G S suggest that the song names are in Venus Condensed. It’s a later version, with a less high “waistline” than in the original, and a smaller size, with slightly wider proportions.

 

It’s always helpful to know the year, and see the type in context. You don’t have to include all details in writing or as image, but providing a source link really speeds up things for us. Knowing that this album cover is from 1968 and that the title face (not shown in your crop) is by PLINC helped me to know where to start looking. Just a thought for your next query.
