45 rpm vinyl record Afric Simone Playa Blanca vintage old Barclay

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

Used 45 rpm vinyl record, featuring the original sleeve for Afric Simone's "Playa Blanca". The visible side shows a sleeve with a bright yellow background, adorned with thick letters, pink for the artist's name "AFRIC SIMONE" and blue for the title "PLAYA BLANCA". In the upper right corner, the reference "620 211" is printed in small font. The lower right part of the sleeve features the Barclay label logo in pink, identifiable by its stylized shape and distinctive color.

The central photograph shows a close-up of Afric Simone, with a wide smile, wearing a burgundy jacket with contrasting lapels, open over a bare chest, highlighting a necklace with a round pendant. The graphic style, choice of colors, and typography are typical of the late 1970s, enhancing the vintage and retro appearance of the item.

The sleeve shows several visible signs of wear: pronounced creases on the corners, marks and small blemishes on the yellow surface, including a handwritten inscription "J 17" to the left of the face. The lower right edge is slightly creased, and the overall item displays a patina consistent with old use. No back, spine, or record is visible in the provided image.

The 45 rpm format is confirmed by the square proportion of the sleeve and the mention in the keywords. This type of record was the standard for singles and popular radio hits from the 60s to 80s.

Used item, sold as is. The sleeve shows signs of wear, creases, and visible inscriptions on the front. The record is not visible in the photo.
