Signed CD Seal – Human Being – 1998 – Warner Bros. Records – Original Dedication – COA

The original cover with a dedication from Seal: Human Being in autographed version

A rare and highly refined piece for international music collectors: the CD of Human Being, Seal's fourth studio album released in 1998 by Warner Bros. Records, with the artist's original dedication applied directly to the cover with a black marker. The inscription "Love, Seal" — in fluid and personal characters — transforms this disc into something more than just an autograph: it is a direct affectionate gesture, a message that the artist wanted to leave on one of his most ambitious and experimental works. The photographic artwork of the cover, with the sculptural figure in shadow against an aquamarine background, provides the perfect backdrop for a dedication that enhances its artistic character. The disc features the original white Warner Bros. label with the inscription "Made in Germany." Cover dimensions: 14 x 12.5 cm. Excellent condition.

The Artist: Seal

Seal Henry Olusegun Olumide Adeola Samuel (London, February 19, 1963) is one of the most iconic and recognizable singers in international music of the nineties. His intense and velvety baritone voice made him famous worldwide with songs like Kiss from a Rose — soundtrack to the film Batman Forever and winner of three Grammy Awards in 1996 — and Crazy, one of the most beloved singles of the entire decade. Raised between Brazil, Nigeria, and England, Seal has built an international career of extraordinary longevity, blending soul, pop, and R&B with a unique artistic sensibility. Human Being, released in 1998, represents one of the deepest and most personal chapters of his discography, with electronic sounds and introspective lyrics that anticipated musical trends that would later establish themselves in subsequent years. His autographed dedication on this CD is a relic of increasing sentimental and collectible value.

What is an original autographed CD?

An original autographed CD is a disc on which the musician's signature or dedication has been applied directly in certified presence, without intermediaries. It differs from printed reproductions or facsimiles by several verifiable elements: the three-dimensionality of the ink on the medium, the natural and irregular pressure of the stroke, the spontaneity and uniqueness of the graphic gesture. When the autograph includes a personal dedication — as in this case with the inscription "Love, Seal" — the sentimental and collectible value multiplies further, making the piece even more unique. The MTM Letter of Authenticity (LOA) included for free and the possibility of adding a third-party COA offer maximum protection in the international collecting market.
