Vintage Japan anime Space Battleship Yamato 45 rpm vinyl record, picture sleeve

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

Vintage Japanese 45 rpm vinyl record, featuring a vividly illustrated sleeve highlighting two iconic characters from the "Space Battleship Yamato" (宇宙戦艦ヤマト) anime series. The cover depicts a man in a blue uniform with gold buttons, accompanied by a woman with long blonde hair, both drawn in the characteristic graphic style of 1970s-1980s Japanese animation. The background evokes a space universe, with dark hues dotted with bright points, enhancing the science fiction atmosphere specific to the series.

The sleeve features clearly legible Japanese inscriptions at the top and sides, including the main title "ヤマト" (Yamato) and other information related to the musical content. The presence of the "45" logo in the upper right confirms the 45 rpm format, typical of Japanese vinyl singles from this period. The record is preserved in a transparent protective plastic sleeve, allowing the entire visual to be seen without major obstruction.

The artwork of the sleeve is distinguished by a balanced composition and a strong contrast between the characters and the spatial background. The details of the drawing, particularly the treatment of hair, clothing, and gazes, attest to a production faithful to the original aesthetic of the license. The visible mention "CK-543" in the upper right may correspond to the pressing or label reference.

The vinyl appears to be in good visual condition from the outside, with the sleeve held flat without apparent creases or tears on the visible area. Some superficial marks may be noted on the plastic protection, but they do not affect the legibility of the illustrations or texts.

The dominant colors are blue, black, and gold, with a palette typical of vintage anime record covers. No major defects are observable on the presented side, and the presence of all original graphic elements reinforces the authenticity of the item.

Did you know? The "Space Battleship Yamato" series, known in France as "Albator" (for certain arcs), marked the history of Japanese animation starting in 1974. It is considered one of the first great animated space sagas and influenced many science fiction artists and directors, particularly for its aesthetics and epic themes.
