Description

This 45 rpm vinyl record features the famous song "Born to Be Alive" performed by Patrick Hernandez. The sleeve, clearly visible in the photo, has a vivid green background adorned with a frieze of multi-colored female silhouettes in a retro graphic style. The title "Born to Be Alive" appears in contrasting orange letters, while the artist's name, Patrick Hernandez, is written at the top in white cursive letters. The inscription "SIDE ONE" is also visible in black relief, as well as the reference "JC 55 558" at the top right.

The visible side of the sleeve shows some signs of use, including creases, slight wear marks, and handwritten pen marks. The overall design, typical of the late 70s, reflects the disco and pop aesthetic of that era. The sleeve catches the eye with the repetition of the female silhouette in a gradient of colors, from blue to purple, evoking the festive and colorful atmosphere of the disco music scene.

The Aquaviva logo is visible at the bottom left, confirming the record's edition. The bottom edge of the sleeve shows slight wear on the left corner, with no apparent tear on this side. No other elements or accessories are visible in the provided image.

This 45 rpm record (format explicitly indicated in the keywords) is typical of American vinyl productions from the disco era, both in its format and its graphic design. The visual highlights the pop iconography of the late seventies, with a strong nod to the dance culture of the time.
