AFW - Antique France Worldwide
Description
This Japanese 45 rpm vinyl record features a colorful jacket illustrating the members of the superhero group "Himitsu Sentai Gorenger," an iconic series from the tokusatsu genre. The visible side of the cover displays a dynamic composition against a blue and pink background, with the five costumed heroes, each identifiable by their distinct color (red, blue, yellow, green, and pink), posing with motorcycles and in action stances. The central red character is highlighted, holding a pistol and riding a motorcycle marked "Suzuki," accentuating the retro style of the 1970s.
Japanese inscriptions are clearly visible on the upper and lower parts of the jacket, with a main title in large black and white characters, surrounded by multicolored star motifs typical of Japanese pop aesthetics of that period. The "Columbia" logo appears in the upper right, accompanied by the reference SCS-251, and the original price (¥500), which confirms the Japanese origin of this pressing.
The cover is printed on glossy paper, showing reflections under the plastic protection visible in the photo. There is a slight mark or stain in the upper left corner, as well as some signs of wear on the edges, indicative of period storage. The overall condition remains visually satisfactory for an item of this vintage nature.
This record is intended for music lovers and collectors of Japanese pop culture items, particularly the Sentai and Tokusatsu universe. The presence of motorcycles and the costume graphics recall Japanese television productions of the late 1970s, with a visual style heavily marked by the era. The ensemble evokes both a musical object and an emblematic souvenir of Japanese television history.
On the visible side, no details regarding the back cover or the condition of the vinyl itself are observable; only the front cover is shown. The mention "GREEN MACHINE" on one of the motorcycles and the typography of the title reinforce the visual authenticity of the piece.
Condition
Used item, sold as is. Slight signs of wear on the cover, visible stain on the upper left, but good overall presentation for a vintage Japanese vinyl.
Did you know? The series "Himitsu Sentai Gorenger" is the very first installment of the Super Sentai franchise, broadcast in Japan starting in 1975. It laid the foundation for the genre, inspiring generations of costumed superhero series, of which Power Rangers is the best-known Western adaptation.
