The title \"RIO DE JANEIRO\" occupies almost the entire front cover, with imposing white and orange typography against a stylized landscape background. The artist's name, Gary Criss, is clearly visible at the bottom left, while the Carrere label logo appears at the bottom right.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe upper part of the sleeve displays several production details in small print, including credits to producer Bill Forest and arranger John Davis. Also visible is the mention \"Photography in Rio de Janeiro by Image Banke\", confirming the use of an authentic photograph for the main illustration. A handwritten inscription, probably a signature or an old annotation, is present in the upper right corner, accompanied by the date \"14.06.98\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe sleeve design is typical of 1970s-1980s music productions, with a bold graphic layout and a choice of warm, contrasting colors. The overall aesthetic immediately evokes the disco or international pop scene of that period, particularly due to the presence of the Carrere label, known for its vintage record releases.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe sleeve, visible in the photo, shows some moderate signs of wear on the edges, consistent with regular handling and the age of the item. No major chips or tears appear on the front. The vinyl itself is not visible in the image; only the sleeve is presented.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsed item, sold as is.
