Mario Lanza RCA Golden series gold sleeve Ray Sinatra 45 rpm vinyl

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This 45 rpm vinyl record features Mario Lanza, accompanied by the orchestra conducted by Ray Sinatra. The cover shows a black and white portrait of the artist on a gold background, enhanced with a white frame and a red circle bearing the inscription "série en or" (gold series). The RCA brand is clearly visible in the upper right, adding a touch of authenticity to this edition. The front cover mentions the performed tracks, including "Begin the Beguine," "Valencia," "Night and Day," and "Siboney."

The cover displays an aesthetic typical of mid-20th century record productions, with a neat layout and a strong contrast between the gold background and the black and red print. The texts are printed in clear letters, with the name "Mario Lanza" particularly highlighted in bright red, which immediately catches the eye.

The overall visual is completed by the reference "85 227 (MEDIUM)" at the bottom left, and the mention of the Ray Sinatra orchestra just below the artist's name. The corners of the cover are rounded by wear, indicating prior use. Several creases, handling marks, and scuff marks are visible on the gold surface, mainly at the bottom and on the edges, typical of a used 45 rpm record.

The design of the cover, particularly the mention "série en or" (gold series) and the choice of gold color, evokes an edition that values great classics or the artist's successes. The general visual aspect is consistent with RCA production standards for this category of records, combining sobriety and valorization of the performer.

All inscriptions are legible on the visible side, with no missing or hidden elements. No details of the back or the vinyl itself are visible in the provided photo.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. The cover shows signs of wear, prominent creases, stains, and scuff marks visible on the front. The corners are blunted. The overall appearance remains legible and coherent for a cover of this era.
