Frederic Hand Vinyl Appraisal

Frederic Hand - Trilogy: The Guitar Music of Frederic Hand Vinyl LP

This is a vintage 12-inch vinyl record album titled 'Trilogy: The Guitar Music of Frederic Hand.' The front cover features a black-and-white portrait of Frederic Hand holding an acoustic guitar, characterized by his eyeglasses and a smiling expression. The lettering at the top and bottom of the sleeve uses a classic serif typography. The album was released by the Musical Heritage Society, as indicated by the 'MHS 4692' catalog number visible in the top right corner. The jacket is made of printed cardstock and shows signs of age-appropriate wear, including minor surface scuffing and slight yellowing/toning of the white background areas. The craftsmanship reflects typical late 20th-century record production (circa early 1980s). The top edge shows a glimpse of internal liner notes or tracklistings on an insert, mentioning compositions such as 'Prélude No. 2 by Chopin.' This specific cataloging from the Musical Heritage Society suggests a niche production aimed at classical and jazz guitar enthusiasts. No major tears or splits are visible in this view, though some light shelf wear is present along the perimeter of the jacket.
