She Loves Me: The Original Cast Album

This item is a vintage vinyl record album, specifically 'She Loves Me: The Original Cast Album,' presented in its original cardboard sleeve. The album cover is predominantly red with a glossy finish. A whimsical, cartoon-style illustration of a smiling, cherubic figure with reddish-brown curly hair and rosy cheeks is prominently featured on the left side. This figure, depicted in a light-colored garment that wraps around its waist, has small pink hearts floating around it. The title 'SHE LOVES ME' is in large, stylized yellow and white font, with a floral motif used for the 'O' in 'LOVES.' Below the title, it states 'The Happiest New Musical' in smaller script. The cover lists the names of the principal cast members, including Barbara Cook, Daniel Massey, Barbara Baxley, Jack Cassidy, Nathaniel Frey, Ralph Williams, Dino Confarti, and Ludwig Donath. Key production credits are also visible, such as 'Book by Joe Masteroff,' 'Music by Jerry Bock,' and 'Lyrics by Sheldon Harnick,' and 'Directed by Harold Prince.' In the bottom left corner, the iconic MGM Records logo is present, featuring the roaring lion within a circle, alongside 'HIGH FIDELITY' and the catalog number 'E 4140SE-2.' The overall condition of the sleeve appears to be good with some minor edge wear and surface scuffs visible, consistent with age and typical handling of a used record album. There are no major tears or deep creases immediately apparent, but the glossy surface shows some reflections suggesting minor indentations or imperfections. This record likely dates from the early to mid-1960s, as 'She Loves Me' premiered on Broadway in 1963.
