Description

This 45 rpm vinyl record features the original cover of Hank Mizell's single "Jungle Rock," released by Philips. The visible side shows a very colorful graphic illustration typical of the 1960s pop style: a caricatured monkey with a rocker hairstyle, in close-up, against a background of green and red tropical vegetation. The dominant colors are vivid green, red, black, and yellow, with touches of blue and purple, giving the whole a playful and dynamic appearance.

The title "Jungle Rock" is inscribed in thick yellow letters with a black shadow, accompanied by the mention "VERSION ORIGINALE" (ORIGINAL VERSION) in black. The artist's name, "HANK MIZELL," appears in white capital letters on the right. In the upper right, the Philips logo is clearly visible, testifying to the vintage edition.

On the left side of the cover, the inscription "b/w animal rock and roll" is visible, indicating the B-side title. The graphic style, marked by the drawing of the simian mascot and the use of bold colors, evokes the rock 'n' roll and cartoon aesthetic of the 1960s, reinforcing the vintage character of the object.

The vinyl is not visible in the photo; only the front cover is shown. No major defects are apparent on this side, other than slight signs of wear consistent with a vintage item (corners possibly blunted, but no visible tears in the image).

This 45 rpm record is a testament to animalistic and humorous rock and roll, particularly sought after for its pop graphics and its reference to 1960s musical culture. The presentation in the photo, placed on a wooden table in front of an old bookshelf, highlights the retro character of the cover.

Did you know? Hank Mizell's song "Jungle Rock," although composed in the 1950s, became an international hit in the 1970s thanks to a European reissue, notably by the Philips label. This song is an emblematic example of rockabilly, a genre that blends rock 'n' roll rhythms with country influences, often with animal or humorous themes.
