Signed Dio Dream Evil Framed Vinyl Lp Display Appraisal

Signed Dio ‘Dream Evil’ Framed Vinyl LP Display

This is a custom-framed display featuring Ronnie James Dio's fourth studio album, 'Dream Evil,' released in 1987. The presentation includes the original album cover art and a black vinyl LP showing the Side 1 Warner Bros. Records label. A primary highlight of this item is a prominent signature in black ink, attributed to Ronnie James Dio, located across the lower left section of the album sleeve. The sleeve also retains an original promotional 'hype sticker' for the single 'I Could Have Been a Dreamer.' The items are housed in a professional double-matted frame with a light blue inner border that follows the circular contour of the protruding record. The outer frame is a simple black wood or composite moulding. The condition appears excellent with no visible fading to the cover art or ink, though there is some reflection on the protective glass. The craftsmanship of the matting suggests a professional framing job intended for memorabilia preservation. The signature matches the characteristic style of the legendary heavy metal vocalist, though formal authentication would be required for a definitive valuation. The overall aesthetic belongs to late 20th-century heavy metal culture, capturing a peak era of the band's history.
