The front sleeve says NORKIN, what does that mean?

Sam Norkin (1917-2011), was an artist who created over 4000 published drawings.

Sam Norkin was also hired to create many record covers over the years which is the work I most enjoy of his. So if you've always just thought of him as just a Hirschfeld imitator, check these album covers out.

Here is picture of that sleeve from the above link:

So he was the artist who created the image used on that record sleeve.
