AFW - Antique France Worldwide
Description
Vintage 45 rpm vinyl record, illustrated with a predominantly black and white sleeve, featuring retro graphics characteristic of the mid-20th century. The visible side presents the title "Aveva Gli Occhi Neri Neri" as well as the artist's name, Franco Trincale, and the mention "Lo Zigo Zago". The illustration highlights a stylized female portrait, typical of 1960s-70s Italian aesthetics, with thick pencil lines and a clean layout. The handwritten signature "Doriane" added with a pen on the sleeve is also visible.
The sleeve, in a standard square format for a 45 rpm record, shows visible signs of wear: creases, light stains, and wrinkled corners, indicating previous use. The printing is black on an off-white background, with clear vintage typography. The inscription "FONOLA N.P. 1709" appears in the upper right corner, identifying the label and the record's reference.
The record itself is not visible in the photo; only the front sleeve is shown. Therefore, no details of the back or the condition of the vinyl can be commented on here. The item is placed on a wooden surface, with an old bookcase in the background, reinforcing the retro atmosphere of the scene.
This type of 45 rpm record, also called a single or SP (Single Play), was very popular for the dissemination of short tracks starting in the 1950s. The sleeve illustration and typographical elements suggest an Italian production, probably from the 60s or 70s, in line with the graphic style and the use of the Fonola label.
The ensemble is a beautiful example of retro musical media, appreciated for its authentic visual and the presence of an original illustration. The handwritten note adds a unique touch to this sleeve already marked by time.
