AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This 45 RPM vinyl record features the original sleeve for "I Can't Stop Loving You" performed by Philip Alexander. The visible side showcases a typical 1980s design, with a photographic staging of a corded telephone on a keyboard, highlighting its connection to the PTT Télécommunications advertisement. The entire piece is printed in color with dominant black, beige, and red tones, typical of advertising visuals from that era.

The upper left corner of the sleeve mentions "Music from the PTT Télécommunications advertising film," indicating the promotional use of the title. In the upper right, the record's reference number "810 988-7" is clearly visible next to the artist's name and title in yellow letters on a black background. The lower left part bears the red Polydor logo, a record label known for its international productions, and "TRANSCONTINENTALE" appears in the lower right.

The sleeve's photograph highlights an old telephone, reinforcing the vintage character of the item. Details of the sleeve reveal slight wear on the edges, typical of a used copy, as well as some signs of use, particularly on the cardboard surface. A handwritten inscription is also visible on the lower right part of the sleeve.

The record is not visible in the image, but the sleeve suggests a pressing from the period, faithful to the graphic style and presentation of promotional singles released by Polydor. No other accessories or inserts appear on the shown side. The item is photographed on a wooden surface, in front of a shelf of records or books, which enhances its vintage appeal.

Did you know? The song "I Can't Stop Loving You" by Philip Alexander gained popularity in France in the 1980s thanks to an iconic television campaign by PTT (Postes, Télégraphes et Téléphones), the predecessor of France Télécom. Promotional records from these campaigns have become historical testaments to telephone and advertising communication in France.
