Giorgio Knights In White Satin 1974 Vinyl Album Appraisal

Giorgio - Knights in White Satin (1974) Vinyl Album

This item is identified as the vinyl record album for 'Knights in White Satin' by Giorgio Moroder, released in 1974. The album cover features a distinctive graphic design with the artist's name, 'GIORGIO,' prominently displayed in large, bold, sans-serif capitalization running vertically along the left side. The full title 'KNIGHTS • IN • WHITE • SATIN' is oriented horizontally, also in sans-serif capitals, positioned to the right of 'GIORGIO'. The artwork depicts multiple figures of what appear to be the same individual, presumably Giorgio, dressed in white or light-colored attire, possibly satin, against a light blue, grid-like background with a hazy, dreamlike effect. The figures are arranged dynamically, suggesting movement or a sequence. The album cover appears to be made of standard cardboard or heavy paper stock typical for vinyl record sleeves of the era. Visible condition issues include some general wear and tear, particularly along the edges and corners, consistent with age and handling. There is a circular price sticker with '$2.99' printed on it, suggesting it was purchased from a retail outlet at that price point, commonly placed on records during the 1970s. The spine or edges of the cover show some creasing and possibly slight discoloration. The overall aesthetic is characteristic of 1970s pop and disco music album art, blending photographic elements with graphic design. The specific mention of '1974' in the context confirms its release year, placing it firmly within the disco era and a significant period for electronic music innovation.
