Rod Stewart Appraisal

The Best of Rod Stewart - Vol. 2 (2 Record Set Vinyl LP)

The item is a vinyl record album titled "The Best of Rod Stewart - Vol. 2." It appears to be a double LP ("2 Record Set") based on the text on a circular pink emblem on the front cover, which also indicates a "Special Price." The album cover is primarily off-white or light cream in color. The title is prominently displayed in a bold, sans-serif font across the top. Below the title, three columns of song titles are listed, although they are partially obscured and difficult to fully decipher. The central visual element is a large, circular portrait of Rod Stewart, seated in a chair, likely taken during the 1970s, judging by his hairstyle and attire (denim shirt and jeans). The 'Volume 2' text is stylized in a purple or deep mauve banner with white outlining, positioned below the circular portrait and seemingly extending across the lower half of the cover. The overall condition of the album cover appears to be very good to excellent, with no visible rips, tears, significant creasing, or major discoloration. The 'unopened' additional context suggests it is still sealed in its original shrink wrap, which is consistent with the lack of visible wear on the edges or corners. This pristine condition and the potential for it to be a New Old Stock (NOS) item are significant quality indicators. The craftsmanship is typical of mass-produced music albums from the era, focusing on clear printing and sturdy cardboard construction for the jacket.
