Vinyl 45 RPM Oscar Benton Bensonhurst Blues original sleeve vintage

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This 45 rpm vinyl record features the famous song "Bensonhurst Blues" performed by Oscar Benton, with "Took Me a Long Time" on the B-side. The original sleeve, clearly visible in the photo, boasts a graphic design typical of the 1970s, predominantly turquoise and purple, accompanied by bold white lettering. The artist's name, Oscar Benton, and the song titles are printed in large letters on the front cover, ensuring immediate identification for any vintage vinyl enthusiast.

On the upper left side, the "EMI Pathé" logo is visible, along with "STEREO" and the visible reference "2C006-46434". These elements confirm a French pressing, likely released during the heyday of the 45 rpm vinyl, making it an authentic medium from the late 20th century music scene. The graphic aspect, with its geometric shapes and bold colors, reflects the visual style of record sleeves from that period.

The sleeve shows visible signs of wear: presence of yellow adhesive tape on the left edge, creased corners, handling marks, folds, and some stains, particularly on the lower part. These marks indicate prior use, typical of vintage vinyls kept without plastic protection. No other accessories or internal elements are visible in the provided photograph.

The visual of the sleeve, which occupies the entire front, does not feature additional illustrations or photographs, but stands out due to the strength of its typographical graphics. No back cover or record is visible in the image, so only the information on the front is taken into account for this description.
