Disco Mania 2 Vinyl Record Album

The item is a vintage vinyl record album titled "Disco Mania 2". The album cover is predominantly dark brown with large, colorful, stylized lettering for "DISCO MANIA 2" in shades of red, orange, yellow, and green, suggesting a rainbow or disco-light effect. A pink star graphic is visible on the left side of the title. Below the title, a partial tracklist is visible, featuring popular disco and R&B hits from the era, including "Love Roller Coaster" by Ohio Players, "Love to Love You Baby" by Donna Summer, "Fly, Robin, Fly" by Silver Convention, "What a Difference a Day Makes" by Esther Phillips, "Lady Marmalade" by LaBelle, and "You Sexy Thing" by Hot Chocolate, followed by "plus many MORE!!!". This selection of artists and songs strongly indicates a mid to late 1970s release, aligning with the peak of the disco genre. The album appears to be enclosed in its original shrink wrap, which is significantly torn and partially removed, especially over the title and tracklist area. This suggests it may have been opened but possibly never fully unwrapped or has been stored for an extended period. The shrink wrap also shows some remnants of what might have been a price sticker or promotional label. The cover itself shows signs of wear consistent with age and handling, including scuffs and potential minor creasing, though the full extent is obscured by the shrink wrap. A circular sticker on the upper right side of the cover is partially visible, showing a number '15' inside, possibly indicating a price or catalog number. The overall condition suggests it is a used item that has retained some protection from its original packaging but still exhibits typical vintage wear. The vibrant colors and bold typography are characteristic of album art from the disco era, making it a recognizable piece of music history.
