12 Inch Record Appraisal

Dean Martin - Gentle On My Mind (12-inch Vinyl LP)

This is a vintage 12-inch vinyl long-play (LP) record album titled 'Gentle On My Mind' by the artist Dean Martin, released on the Reprise Records label. The album features a square cardboard sleeve with a large, high-contrast photographic portrait of Dean Martin smiling, wearing a rust-colored jacket over a white turtleneck. The typography includes large, outlined white text for the artist's name and smaller white text listing tracks such as 'By The Time I Get To Phoenix' and 'Honey'. The Reprise Records logo is visible in the upper right. Regarding condition, the jacket shows significant signs of wear and age, including noticeable ring wear where the internal record has rubbed against the cardboard, corner dings, and edge chipping along the top and left sides. A small green price tag or stock sticker is affixed to the upper right corner. Given the catalog number 6330 and the artist's career timeline, this record dates to 1968, representing the mid-century easy listening and pop-country style characteristic of Martin's late-period discography. The overall aesthetic is typical of late 1960s commercial record production, aiming for a warm, accessible star-focused presentation.
