Greatest Hits Vinyl Appraisal

Diana Ross' Greatest Hits Vinyl LP

This item is a vintage vinyl LP record album, titled "Diana Ross' Greatest Hits." The album jacket is printed on cardstock or heavy paper, featuring a prominent black and white photograph of Diana Ross on the front cover. She is depicted with voluminous curly hair, wearing a large, multi-banded bracelet or cuff on her right wrist, and what appears to be a necklace or garment adorned with cowrie shells or similar decorative elements. The artist's name, "Diana Ross'," is centered at the top in an elegant, script-like font, with "GREATEST HITS" directly below it in a sans-serif, all-caps typeface. The background of the text and border surrounding the photo is an off-white or cream color, contrasting with the central monochromatic image. The album appears to be enclosed in a clear plastic protective sleeve, which contributes to its 'gently used' condition by potentially shielding it from environmental wear. Visible condition issues on the jacket itself include minor edge wear, particularly along the spine on the left side, which shows a reddish hue, likely from the original manufacturing or a specific pressing. There might be slight corner dings or creasing typical of an item of this age. No specific manufacturing details, such as a record label logo, catalog number, or producer credits, are visible on the front cover. Based on the provided context, the item is from 1972, placing it within the early 1970s pop/soul music era.
