Vinyl LP record, Gary Lewis & The Playboys, 'She's Just My Style'

This is a 12-inch vinyl long-play (LP) record sleeve titled 'She's Just My Style' as marked, attributed to the musical group Gary Lewis & The Playboys. The cover features a photograph of five band members standing against a white brick wall. The jacket is printed with a red header containing the Liberty label logo and '...visual sound STEREO' text. Visible catalog numbers in the upper right corner include 'LST-7435' and 'LRP-3435'. The tracklist is printed centrally and includes titles such as 'You Didn't Have To Be So Nice', 'Lies', and 'Heart Full Of Soul'. The lower edge states 'PRINTED IN U.S.A.' and '©LIBERTY RECORDS, INC.' Stylistically, the typography and fashion of the band members are consistent with mid-1960s American pop music releases. The cardboard sleeve shows signs of age-related wear, including minor scuffing around the edges, shelf wear, and some softening of the corners. This identification is based on visible printed markings, which are consistent with releases from Liberty Records, though the internal vinyl disc cannot be examined for matching matrix numbers or condition.

Based on my visual examination of the jacket, this item appears to be the 1966 stereo release of 'She's Just My Style' by Gary Lewis & The Playboys on Liberty Records. I can see the catalog number LST-7435 and the Liberty logo, which are consistent with the mid-1960s pop era; however, this attribution remains a hypothesis as I cannot examine the vinyl itself for matching matrix numbers or weight. The jacket exhibits visible shelf wear, scuffing, and softened corners, which I must factor into the value as condition is paramount in the record market. Since the vinyl disc is not visible, I cannot determine its play-grade condition (e.g., Near Mint vs. Good), which could significantly fluctuate the value. While Liberty Records of this period were mass-produced, there is steady demand for 1960s pop memorabilia. Comparable mid-60s pop LPs in similar jacket condition generally sell in the $10 to $35 range if the disc is present and playable. To move toward a more certain valuation, an in-person inspection of the vinyl surface for scratches and a professional play-test would be required. This estimate assumes the item is an actual 1966 pressing; if it were a later budget reissue or if the disc is missing/damaged, the value would likely drop below $5. Authentication would require verifying the 'H' or 'I' stamps in the dead wax to confirm the specific pressing plant.
