Vintage Santa Esmeralda 45 rpm vinyl The House of the Rising Sun

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

45 rpm vinyl record presented in its original, color-illustrated sleeve. The visible side shows the sleeve for the single "The House of the Rising Sun" by the group Santa Esmeralda, starring Jimmy Goings. The visual depicts a group of people around a campfire, one of them playing the guitar, another wearing a patterned red dress, while two other women, one of whom is sitting on a motorcycle, complete the scene. The sleeve bears the mention "Version Disco Originale (Le Pénitencier)" in a red circle at the top left, and the Philips label logo is clearly visible at the top right.

The main title "SANTA ESMERALDA" appears in large yellow letters on a black background, surmounted by the subtitle "starring Jimmy Goings" in red characters. The bottom of the sleeve displays the title "the house of the rising sun" in white. A stylized animal logo, probably from a rights or production organization, is printed in the lower right corner.

The sleeve has a vintage appearance with visible signs of creasing and slight warping of the cardboard, particularly on the edges and corners. The printing colors remain vibrant despite the wear, preserving the decorative character and visual appeal of this copy. The photographic scene and graphic style are typical of the late 1970s, consistent with the period of the track's release.

No precise indication of the condition of the record itself is visible in this image. The back cover, the central label of the vinyl, or other additional information are not observable in the provided photograph.

Did you know? Santa Esmeralda gained worldwide recognition in the 1970s with their disco adaptations of classic tracks, including "The House of the Rising Sun" and "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood". The Philips label, clearly legible here, was one of the main European publishers of popular music during this period.
