Salome Soundtrack LP (DL 8004)

This is a vintage vinyl record album, specifically the soundtrack LP for the Columbia Technicolor production of 'Salome,' starring Rita Hayworth, Stewart Granger, and Alan Badel. The album cover features a vibrant and provocative image of Rita Hayworth reclining in a flowing, transparent gown, set against a dark background with some classical or ornate furniture elements. The dominant colors in the artwork are rich gold, peach, and light blue in the drapery, contrasting with Hayworth's fair skin and red hair. The text is prominent, with 'SALOME' in large, capitalized, gold-colored sans-serif font, and the stars' names 'RITA HAYWORTH' and 'STEWART GRANGER' highlighted beneath. The Decca Records logo is visible in the upper right corner, with the catalog number 'DL 8004' in the upper left. The cover shows significant signs of age and wear, including scuffing, edge wear, and visible surface dirt, especially on the dark areas of the cover, which appear dulled and show some white speckling, possibly from scuffs or minor abrasions. The bottom right corner exhibits more pronounced wear. The overall impression is that of a well-loved or frequently handled item, consistent with a record from the mid-20th century. Based on the film's release and typical LP formats, this would likely date from the early to mid-1950s. The artwork itself is a key feature, indicative of promotional materials for classic Hollywood cinema.
