Walt Disney Productions Mickey Mouse Splashdance Vinyl Record Album Appraisal

Walt Disney Productions Mickey Mouse Splashdance Vinyl Record Album

This item is the front cover of a vintage vinyl record album titled "Mickey Mouse Splashdance" by Walt Disney Productions. The album cover measures approximately 12.375 inches by 12.375 inches, typical of a 12-inch LP. The primary material is thick cardboard, printed with a glossy finish. The color palette is vibrant and characteristic of the 1980s, featuring a dominant black background that transitions into a sky blue and light yellow at the bottom right. The central graphic depicts Mickey Mouse in a dynamic 'splashdance' pose, reminiscent of the movie 'Flashdance'. He is wearing a black leotard with pink accents, suggesting a ballet or dance pose amidst a splash of white and light blue water. The 'Mickey Mouse' text is in white, while 'SPLASHDANCE' is prominently displayed in a bright pink, angled diagonally across the top right. Notable features include the tracklist clearly printed on the left side of the cover, specifying 'SIDE ONE' and 'SIDE TWO' with individual song titles such as 'Happy Happy Birthday To You', 'Digital Duck', 'Minnie Mouse', 'Crush On You', and 'Mousekemania'. The Walt Disney Productions logo is visible at the top left. The condition appears to be 'practically new' as described, with minimal visible wear, some slight creasing that could be due to handling or storage. There are no obvious tears, significant scratches, or water damage. The edges seem mostly intact, though the spine is not fully visible to assess its condition. The graphic quality is good, indicating proper preservation of the ink colors. The style period is clearly 1980s, aligning with the 'Flashdance' theme and the general aesthetics of Disney's productions from that era. The craftsmanship is standard for mass-produced record albums of the period, with a focus on appealing imagery for its target audience.
