Winchester Cathedral by The New Vaudeville Band Vinyl Album

This item is a vintage vinyl record album, specifically 'Winchester Cathedral' by The New Vaudeville Band. The album cover is made of cardboard, featuring a vibrant and illustrative design characteristic of the late 1960s or early 1970s. The cover prominently displays the title 'THE ORIGINAL HIT! Winchester Cathedral' in bold, orange and yellow lettering against a black background, with 'The New Vaudeville Band' in green below it. The artwork depicts a lively scene with stylized, cartoonish figures in period attire (flared pants, mini-dresses), playing musical instruments and dancing, all outlined in black on a psychedelic background of pink, orange, green, blue, and red wavy patterns within a pink border. The overall visual aesthetic hints at a Mod or Pop Art influence. In the top left corner, there is a circular logo for 'Fontana' records, indicating the record label. In the bottom right corner, 'MONAURAL' and 'MGF 27560' are printed, signifying it's a monaural recording and providing a catalog number. The physical condition shows some signs of wear typical for its age, including slight edge wear and possibly some creasing or scuffing on the corners and surfaces, as is common with cardboard album sleeves that have been handled over decades. The colors remain relatively vibrant, suggesting it has not suffered excessive sun exposure. No major tears or significant damage are immediately visible from the provided image, but closer inspection would be needed to ascertain the condition of the vinyl itself. This album represents a piece of musical and graphic design history from its era.
