Candle Classics: The Story of Little Tree (Audio Recording)

This appears to be a vintage children's audio recording, likely a vinyl record or possibly a cassette, given its square shape and size, typical of LP album covers from the mid to late 20th century. The cover is predominantly dark green, almost a teal or forest green, with a light blue or turquoise border outlining the front edges. The title, 'Candle Classics,' is emblazoned across the top in a decorative, flowing script, in the same light blue/turquoise hue. Below the main title, the specific story presented is 'The Story of Little Tree,' indicated by an illustration of a stylized golden-brown tree within a circle, and the words 'The Story of Little Tree' written on a banner-like graphic beneath it, also in golden-brown or beige tones. A smaller line of text at the bottom center reads 'With Candie, Jim Hampton and Happy LaShelle,' indicating the performers or narrators involved. Physically, the cover shows signs of light use, as noted in the prompt, with some subtle scuffing or surface wear visible, particularly towards the bottom edge and corners, consistent with age and handling. There are no obvious rips, tears, or major disfigurations, suggesting it has been reasonably well-preserved. The construction appears to be a standard cardboard gatefold or sleeve designed for album protection. Based on the aesthetic and naming conventions ('Candle Classics'), it likely dates from the 1970s or 1980s, a period when such narrated children's stories on records were common. The overall quality appears good for its age, showcasing clear printing and a robust cover material.
