The sleeve shown in the photo displays a typical disco-era visual, featuring several characters in a theatrical setting with colorful costumes and expressive poses. The main title \"don't let me be misunderstood + esmeralda suite\" is clearly legible on the front, as is the secondary title \"you're my everything\" at the bottom left.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Philips logo and discographic reference are clearly visible at the top right, confirming the authenticity of this vintage edition. A notable detail: the sleeve bears two handwritten signatures in blue, likely from band members or the crew, which gives this copy a unique and sought-after character in the retro record market.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe sleeve features a predominantly dark background, with bright yellow lettering for the band's name \"SANTA ESMERALDA,\" which stands out clearly. The overall graphic design, as well as the photographic aesthetic, clearly evoke the late 70s, a flagship period for international disco. The color printing, typographies, and layout are typical of this era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe visible side shows no major structural flaws, but there are signs of wear from use, particularly on the edges of the sleeve (slight marks, blunted corners), consistent with an old record that has been circulated. The colors remain vibrant and the inscriptions are perfectly legible, making it a quality collector's item for vintage music enthusiasts and original vinyl records.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe record is presented in its original sleeve, with no additional elements visible in the photo. No other accessories or documents are apparent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsed item sold as is.
