Description

This 45 rpm vinyl record features the original sleeve of the single "Neanderthal Man" by the band Hotlegs, produced by the Fontana label. The visible side shows a sleeve with a design typical of the early 1970s, with a bright blue background and imposing white and yellow typography. The main inscriptions are perfectly legible, notably the title "NEANDERTHAL MAN" in white capital letters, the band name "HOTLEGS" in yellow, as well as the mention of the secondary title "YOU DIDN'T LIKE IT, BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T THINK OF IT" in black.

At the bottom left, the sleeve displays the Fontana label logo, printed in white within a box, as well as the mention "série PARADE" on the right. "b/w" is also noted in small print on the left, indicating the presence of a B-side. The overall graphic design is minimalist, centered on the text, without illustrations or photos, which reinforces the retro look and authenticity of this edition.

The surface of the sleeve shows visible signs of wear, typical of an old record: scuff marks, small scratches, and general patina, particularly noticeable on the blue background. The corners are slightly dulled, indicating past use, but the structure remains intact and the main print is still clear.

The record is not visible in the photo; only the front sleeve is shown. No details of the back, the record itself, or any inserts are observable. The presentation suggests an item intended for both listening and decoration, with strong decorative potential in a vintage interior or music library.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. The sleeve shows visible signs of wear (scuffs, scratches, worn corners) but remains legible and structurally sound.

Did you know? The track "Neanderthal Man," released in 1970, was an international hit for Hotlegs, a band that would later become 10cc. This song is considered one of the first to prominently use a drum machine in British pop, marking a turning point in 1970s music production.
