33 RPM Vinyl Ekseption Classic in Pop Vintage Retro Philips

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Detailed Visual Description

This 33 RPM vinyl record features the album "Classic in Pop" by the group Ekseption, pressed under the Philips label. The sleeve boasts an iconic, retro graphic design characteristic of the 1970s: on a black background, a stylized grey face with psychedelic curves is framed by a wide rainbow circle, typical of the pop aesthetic of the era. Bold, block-style white lettering occupies the upper part with "EKSEPTION" and the title "CLASSIC IN POP" in quotation marks. In the upper right, the Philips logo is visible, attesting to the original pressing.

At the bottom, the sleeve lists several key tracks from the album: "The Fifth", "Sabre Dance", "Air", "Fire Dance", "Rhapsody in Blue", "Dance Macabre a.o.". The text is printed in white capital letters, perfectly legible against the dark background. The entire visible front cover is well-centered, and the sleeve appears to be protected by a transparent plastic sleeve, practical for preservation.

The photograph only shows the front of the sleeve. No details of the back, spine, or the record itself are visible. The overall condition of the sleeve shows some superficial signs of wear: scuff marks, micro-scratches, and reflections, typical of used vinyl records that have circulated but remain in a decent visual condition for everyday use or display. No major tears or deformation are observable on the visible side.

The graphic aesthetic, both colorful and stylized, reflects a pop and psychedelic influence, consistent with the release period of the group Ekseption. This type of sleeve attracts fans of vintage design and classic music revisited in a pop-rock style.

Condition

Used item, sold as is, with visible signs of use on the front cover (see photo). The record is not visible in the image; only the condition of the sleeve can be described.

Did you know? Ekseption was a Dutch band primarily active in the 1960s and 1970s, famous for its instrumental adaptations of great classical themes in rock and jazz versions. The album "Classic in Pop" perfectly illustrates this blend, with covers of composers such as Beethoven, Khachaturian, and Gershwin, arranged in a contemporary style for the time.
