Description

This 33-rpm vinyl record features George Gershwin's emblematic work, "Rhapsody in Blue," performed by the London Festival Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Thomas Greene, with Ronald Smith on piano. The cover features a black and white image of a suspension bridge and the New York city skyline, evoking the American atmosphere of the 1920s-1930s. The title "GERSHWIN" appears in pink capital letters, followed by "Rhapsody in Blue" in blue, creating a simple and elegant layout.

In the upper left, the mention "RICHESSE CLASSIQUE" (CLASSIC WEALTH) is framed on a yellow background, indicating the collection or series. The upper right corner displays the "Muridisc" logo in a yellow cartouche, specifying the label. The record is referenced "33 Tours Haute Fidélité - RC 416" (33 RPM High Fidelity - RC 416), valuable information for classic vinyl enthusiasts seeking audio quality faithful to the original work.

The cover is designed in a refined graphic style, typical of classic French editions from the mid-20th century. The inscriptions are clear and legible. The main photograph occupies most of the front cover, adding a strong visual dimension to the whole. No other visuals or text are visible on the presented side.

The record is displayed upright, with the cover showing some visible signs of wear on the edges, consistent with a used vintage record. No details of the vinyl itself are visible in the photo; only the cardboard cover is shown.
