Don McLean - American Pie Vinyl LP

This item is a vinyl long-play (LP) record album, specifically 'American Pie' by Don McLean. The album cover features a distinctive image of a clenched fist with 'American Pie' painted in red, white, and blue, resembling the American flag, on the knuckles. The image is designed to create a visual pun with the album title. The artist's name, 'Don McLean,' and the album title, 'American Pie,' are prominently displayed in the top right corner of the album sleeve, rendered in white text against a darker background. The album appears to be enclosed in a clear plastic protective sleeve, which while preserving the cover, also shows some wrinkles and glare that slightly obscure parts of the image and text. The colors on the cover are muted, with a dominant dark, almost grayscale background, highlighting the patriotic colors on the hand. The physical condition, as far as can be determined from the image, shows some wear on the corners and edges of the album sleeve, consistent with its age and handling. There are no obvious tears or significant damage visible, but the protective sleeve indicates an attempt to preserve its condition. Based on the release date of the album, this item dates back to the early 1970s. The craftsmanship of the album cover design is characteristic of vintage record albums, focusing on impactful visual art to convey the album's theme. The overall presentation suggests a classic rock/folk music collectible.
