EMI Promopicture 1977 - knitting seemed to be a bigger business back then.

Layout from cover of Flyday.
This one has been cut in the top & bottom, and a different type has been used for the name Kraan. Two white PING-PONG balls (or double moon ? ) are present - as on the photo to the left.
(The less romantic explanation is that the doublemoon, and ping-pong balls (left photo) are the result of a hole machine, in order to archive them in a briefcase)
