Dean Martin - French Style (Reprise Records Vinyl LP)

This is a vintage 12-inch vinyl record album titled 'French Style' by the legendary vocalist Dean Martin, originally released in 1962. The album cover features a vibrant color photograph of Martin wearing a red beret and holding a long cigarette holder, intended to evoke a stereotypical Parisian aesthetic. The manufacturing details include the Reprise Records logo in the lower-left corner and the catalog number 'R9-6021' at the top right, indicating this is the Stereo version. The cardstock cover shows visible signs of age and wear including edge scuffing, corner blunting, and faint ring wear on the front surface. A green price tag or stock sticker is visible in the upper right. The typography utilizes a mix of stylized scripts and blocks in red, green, and blue, listing tracks like 'La Vie En Rose' and 'I Love Paris.' The arrangement and conducting are credited to Neal Hefti. This artifact represents a classic era of mid-century vocal pop and easy listening music, though the physical condition appears to be moderately used.
