AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description
33 rpm vinyl record presented with its original sleeve, illustrated with a black and white photograph tinted with violet, showing a group of five elegantly dressed artists, three men in suits, one woman in a dress and another man, all gathered around stand microphones. The atmosphere of the scene evokes a concert or a live performance on stage, typical of the jazz or vocal variety aesthetic of the 50s-60s. The jacket displays a retro style faithful to the vintage spirit, with a simple and contrasting graphic layout.

On the right side of the sleeve is a bright green insert listing the song titles spread across two discs. Among the visible titles: "The Great Pretender", "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes", "Harbour Lights", "Only You (and you alone)", "Sincerely", "Stormy Weather", "Mack The Knife". The Mercury logo, a renowned record label, appears at the bottom right of the insert, confirming the original edition under this label. Some legal mentions are printed at the bottom of the jacket, adding an authentic touch to the whole.

The sleeve shows marked and visible wear, notably an area of significant chips and missing pieces on the right edge, affecting the cardboard over several centimeters. Signs of wear and rubbing are also perceptible on the upper edge, testifying to prolonged use and the passage of time. Despite these defects, the main print remains legible and the graphic elements are still clearly identifiable.

The item offers a visual typical of jazz or doo-wop variety albums produced in the 50s-60s, with a focus on the vocal group on stage. This type of 33 rpm vinyl record is sought after for its analog sound, its neat presentation and its decorative retro character.
