AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This vintage audio cassette, shown in the photo, is an example of a K7 medium published in 1985 by Le Ballon (Belgium). The presented side bears the mention "Une histoire fantastique pour FRISSONNER" (A fantastic story to THRILL), indicating suspenseful or fantastic narrative content. The pink and white label features a typical 1980s layout, with sharp angles and sober typography. The following information can be read: "20 min. / 2 faces / Histoire: Isaac Roux / Réalisation et musique: An Porain / Raconté par Guy De Hainaut" (20 min. / 2 sides / Story: Isaac Roux / Production and music: An Porain / Narrated by Guy De Hainaut). The lettering is clear and well-preserved, suggesting that the label is in good overall condition.

The cassette is housed in a transparent protective case, with a yellow background. This case, clearly visible in the photo, effectively protects the cassette and features a classic angular structure of the era. The K7 medium itself is white, with standard openings for playback on any compatible player. The reels and rotation axes are visible through the central window, with no apparent signs of wear on this side.

The visual shows that the cassette is an B edition, probably corresponding to the second side of the audio program. The inscriptions are perfectly legible: "Le Ballon Belgique 1985" is mentioned in a corner, attesting to the production date and publisher. The surface of the cassette shows no major scratches, chips, or notable marks on the visible side. The plastic case shows some minor traces of use, typical of a used object from this period, but remains in good structural condition.

The bright colors of the label (pink and white) and the explicit mention of a story to "thrill" position this cassette as an audio narrative object intended for a young audience or fans of fantastic stories. The general design, graphics, and presentation correspond well to the aesthetic of the 80s, a period when the K7 format was the standard for home and educational audio.

The cassette is placed on a light wooden surface, and the background is blurred, which highlights the object without distraction. No other accessories or booklet are visible in the provided image.

Used item, sold as is. The visible side shows a clean and legible label, without major tears or stains. The case shows slight signs of use. Functionality not tested for this listing.

Did you know? Audio cassettes, invented by Philips in 1963, reached their peak in the 1980s and 1990s, serving both for music distribution and for audiobooks and children's stories. Thematic editions, like this one, were common to introduce young people to sound narration and develop their imagination.
