Banjo Band Album Appraisal

Recorded Live at Your Father's Mustache by the World's Finest Banjo Band LP Album

This item is a vintage vinyl record album, specifically an LP (Long Play) in its original shrink wrap, indicating it is likely still sealed from the manufacturer. The album cover features a vibrant and eye-catching design with a warm, reddish-brown background that fades to a lighter orange. The title, 'RECORDED LIVE AT YOUR FATHER'S MUSTACHE', is prominently displayed in bold, yellow, shadowed lettering, with 'YOUR FATHER'S MUSTACHE' being particularly large and stylized. Below the title, 'by the World's Finest Banjo Band' is printed, suggesting the musical style and performers. A central graphic on the cover depicts a banjo with an anthropomorphic face on its resonator, featuring eyes and a large, stylized mustache, adding a whimsical and comedic element to the design. The banjo's neck and tuning pegs are visible extending upwards. In the top left corner, the catalog number 'LSP-3722' and 'STEREO' are printed, identifying it as a stereo recording and providing a unique identifier. The top right corner contains the 'RCA VICTOR' logo, indicating the record label. A tracklist is faintly visible on the right side of the cover, partially obscured by glare and the shrink wrap. The shrink wrap itself shows some wear, with minor creases and scuffs, but appears largely intact, preserving the album cover underneath. The overall condition appears to be excellent due to the sealed nature, although the integrity of the vinyl inside cannot be assessed from the image. This piece would likely date from the mid-to-late 20th century, consistent with the LP format and branding visible. The artwork suggests a playful and possibly novelty jazz or folk music genre.
