AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

Illustrated 45 rpm vinyl record featuring the song "Endicott" by Kid Creole and the Coconuts. The visible cover showcases colorful and dynamic graphics, typical of the 1980s pop and funk scene. The band's name, "Kid Creole and the Coconuts," appears at the top in black handwritten script against a turquoise background with pastel geometric patterns, enhancing the retro style. The title "ENDICOTT" is written in deconstructed capital letters, very visible in the center, in a turquoise, yellow, and black palette.

The cover shows a photographic montage with three women in polka-dot dresses and colorful heels, in dancing poses, accompanying a male character in red plaid pants, a white jacket, and sneakers. On the right, another man in a Panama hat and a light-colored jacket is seated next to a blonde woman. The overall impression evokes a festive and theatrical atmosphere, typical of the band's visual productions from that period. There are also elements of cabaret or show decor, with handwritten signs and a blue "KISS" sign on a white background.

In the lower right part of the cover, a white handwritten inscription indicates "Extrait de l'album 'In Praise of Older Women and Other Crimes'" (Excerpt from the album 'In Praise of Older Women and Other Crimes'), confirming the song's origin. The dominant colors are turquoise, yellow, pink, and green, with a strong contrast provided by the characters' clothing and accessories. The graphic style, lettering, and staging are characteristic of 1980s pop culture.

The vinyl presented appears to be in good visual condition on the visible side, with no apparent scratches or stains on the sleeve. No label logo or record company mention is legible on this side, but the overall presentation conforms to the standards of 45 rpm singles of the era.

This record is a classic physical music medium, sought after for its vintage aesthetic and the analog quality of vinyl sound. It is aimed at anyone who appreciates retro music, pop-funk, or wishes to decorate an interior with period album covers that have a strong visual impact.
