Description

This 45-rpm vinyl record features a sleeve illustrated with a pale rose on a dark background, adorned with wispy smoke effects, typical of 1960s graphic design. The visible side clearly indicates the artist Fausto Papetti, a renowned Italian saxophonist, as well as the main track titles: "Stranger On The Shore" (Slow), "Tuff" (Slow), "Sulla Sabbia" (Slow), and "Noi Due Sconosciuti" (Slow). The overall presentation evokes a retro musical world, focused on slow jazz and ballroom dance music.

The sleeve displays a minimalist photographic design with contrasting typographies, alternating white and vivid pink on a blue-black background. The mention "SPECIAL DANSE" in yellow on a black background is visible in the bottom right, along with the "vogue durium" logos and the reference DVEP. 95 111, confirming a vintage edition from this label specializing in instrumental and variety music.

The bottom left edge of the sleeve shows slight creases and blunted corners, indicating past handling, but the overall visual appearance remains good for a vintage piece. No record is visible in the photo, but the item is clearly complete with its original sleeve. The surface of the sleeve shows some reflections and signs of wear, without altering the readability of the inscriptions or the visual impact of the main artwork.

The titles and inscriptions are perfectly legible: "STRANGER ON THE SHORE", "TUFF", "FAUSTO PAPETTI", "SULLA SABBIA", "NOI DUE SCONOSCIUTI", "SPECIAL DANSE", "vogue durium", "DVEP. 95 111". The general style evokes the sophisticated and elegant aesthetic of Italian instrumental productions of the era.
