AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

An old 45 RPM vinyl record, illustrated with a dynamic, colorful scene showing a blond boy in red and white striped shorts, crouching on a sand dune setting, a marble in his hand. Beside him, a cartoon dog character addresses the viewer with the bubble "SING WITH ME!". The overall impression evokes a playful and retro world, typical of promotional visuals from the 80s. Several stylized cyclists appear on the sand, reinforcing the sporty and summery atmosphere of the sleeve.

On the upper part, the inscription "PÂTISSERIES COLIBRI" is visible, accompanied by their red and black logo, as well as a map of France indicating different stopover cities, suggesting an event or promotional collaboration. The title "Mondial Billes sur sable 87" (World Marbles on Sand 87) is printed in red and gold characters, with the mention "Finale August 22, 87 (Royan)", clearly dating the item to the late 1980s.

The visible side features graphic design typical of the era, with bold colors (red, yellow, black) and a drawing style that is both childish and advertising-oriented. The record is protected by an illustrated cardboard sleeve, with no apparent central window. A barcode and the reference 444 appear on the left side, common elements of commercial productions from this period.

In addition to its musical function, this record is a promotional item linked to a sporting and playful event centered around playing marbles on sand, sponsored by Colibri. It targets a family audience, as evidenced by the invitation to sing and participate in the event.

The observed overall condition shows slight patina and signs of wear on the sleeve, notably a marked area on the left side. The colors remain well-contrasted and the inscriptions are legible. No other accessories or record sides are visible in this image.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. Sleeve with visible signs of wear, particularly on the left side. Inscriptions and illustrations remain clear and attractive.

Did you know? The Mondial Billes, organized annually on French beaches, is an emblematic competition bringing together children and adults around the traditional game of marbles on sand.
