It looks like a 1971-74 font used in a Chicago pressing plant.   Maybe Bob A.  can help here?  "Just Us" rings a bell with me.  I'm sure I saw that name on some other labels.  I never picked up anything with a group name that modern.  I don't like much music made after 1967.

 

Just Us was a folk/rock group that had a record out on Massachusetts' minuteman Records, picked up for national distribution in 1965, by Colpix Records.  There was also a Canadian psychadelic rock group from Southern Ontario with that name.  They had a record out on Canadian Barry Records in 1967.  They MIGHT be the same group as the group on Minuteman.

 

I suspect that the Tonce Record is a Funk record, maybe from Akron or Cleveland, Ohio.  It is from 1974.  There was a Funk record from 1973 by Jus' Us on Annthonette Records from Akron.  There was also a funk instrumental record by Just Us & Brass Jam on International Mod Records. also from the early 1970s.

I've only heard Just Us & Brass Jam, of the three.  I don't know if the other 2 are Funk instrumentals or Soul vocals, or funk vocals.]

Listen to this Funk band, and tell me if they could be the same group as is on Tonce Records.

Robb, there were at least 6 groups called "just us".

 

"Our own thing entertainment BMI" was based in LA as of 1980.
