Luna Sea Appraisal

Luna Sea by Firefall (Vinyl LP)

The item is a vinyl record album, specifically the 'Luna Sea' album by the band Firefall. Its size appears to be the standard 12-inch format for LPs. The primary material is likely cardboard for the outer sleeve, with the vinyl record enclosed within (though the record itself is not visible). The colors of the album cover are predominantly various shades of blue, with white, cream, and green accents. The artwork depicts a serene, tropical moonlit beach scene contained within a circular frame on a dark blue background. Notable features include a large, detailed full moon in the upper left of the circular artwork, casting a glow over a calm ocean with gentle waves lapping a white sandy beach. Lush green palm fronds frame the foreground, while distant mountains and more palm trees line the coast. The band's name, 'FIREFALL', is printed in white, sans-serif capital letters in the upper right quadrant of the dark blue background, outside the circular artwork. The album title, 'LUNA SEA', is similarly styled and positioned in the lower left quadrant. Visible condition issues suggest wear consistent with handling and age. There are noticeable scuffs, scratches, and edge wear on the dark blue portions of the sleeve, particularly along the bottom edge where 'LUNA SEA' is printed. Minor creasing or corner dings are also possible but not clearly discernible from the image alone. The overall color saturation of the artwork appears well-preserved, but the general patina indicates a used item. No specific manufacturing details, such as label logos or catalog numbers, are clearly legible in the provided image, though a small white logo or text box appears to be present in the bottom right corner of the sleeve. Based on the release history of Firefall, this album likely dates from the late 1970s, placing it within the AOR (Album-Oriented Rock) or soft rock style period of that era. The craftsmanship of the cover art is detailed and evocative, typical of album art from that period designed to capture the mood of the music.
