Description

This 45 rpm vinyl record features a brightly illustrated jacket associated with the Japanese anime "Harmagedon". On the visible side, the sleeve boasts a graphic composition typical of 1980s animated productions, with a large, stylized robotic character in the background, highlighted by orange and pink hues. Three characters are depicted in the foreground: a student in a black uniform, a moving teenager, and a third character in a red outfit, all drawn in a characteristic manga style.

The upper part of the sleeve displays several inscriptions in Japanese, along with an English translation of the main title: "Children of the Light." The names of Rosemary Butler, the performer, and Keith Emerson, the composer, are also visible, both mentioned in Latin script below the track titles. The Catam International logo and the reference "7Y0039 STEREO ¥700" are printed at the top left, confirming its original Japanese edition.

The typographic design blends Japanese and English lettering, with imposing navy blue characters for the main title "Harmagedon" and secondary texts in white and red. The entire package is protected in a transparent plastic sleeve. The top edge reveals the rim of the vinyl record, confirming its 45 rpm format (information derived from keywords).

The overall condition of the sleeve appears good, with no tears or significant visible signs of wear on the presented side. The colors remain vibrant, and the visual is not faded. Some reflections are visible on the plastic surface, but they do not impair the readability of the illustrations or texts.

This 45 rpm record is a representative item of Japanese pop culture, blending music and animation. It will appeal to fans of anime soundtrack vinyl records, Japanese graphic sleeves, and vintage productions.
