Description

This 45 rpm vinyl record features the original cover of the single "The Best Disco in Town" by The Ritchie Family, an iconic group from the international disco scene of the 1970s. The black and white cover shows a photographic portrait of the three band members, in spectacular and stylized outfits, typical of the disco aesthetic of the era. The title "THE RITCHIE FAMILY" and the song title are printed in white capital letters on a black background, at the top of the cover, offering excellent readability and strong visual impact.

The bottom left corner bears the Carabine label logo, a distinctive element for vinyl record and European pressing enthusiasts. In the upper right section, the reference "66 479" is visible, along with some handwritten annotations (including "Daniel" and "S-17") that attest to previous use. The cover shows visible signs of wear on the edges, with slight creases and marks, indicating prior storage and handling.

The central black and white photograph highlights the festive and elaborate spirit of disco, with geometric patterned costumes, shiny fabrics, and striking accessories. The overall effect gives this 45 rpm record a strong visual identity, typical of mid-70s disco productions. No other elements or information are visible on the displayed side.
