"T.S.O.P. (The Sound of Philadelphia)"




















Really lovely font for 'the sound of philadelphia' label.
In 1966, prior to the creation of Philadelphia International, Gamble and Huff started an independent label, Excel Records. It was soon renamed Gamble Records and in 1972 it was folded into Philadelphia International as a subsidiary. In 1974, the subsidiary's name was changed to TSOP Records. The name comes from the 1974 hit single, "TSOP (The Sound of Philadelphia)", by MFSB and The Three Degrees. Artists for Excel/Gamble/TSOP included Jerry Butler, Dusty Springfield, Laura Nyro, Wilson Pickett, Dee Dee Sharp, The Intruders and Archie Bell & the Drells.
