AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

The record shown in the photo is an LP format 33 rpm vinyl, identifiable by its large square sleeve and the "STEREO" inscription from the Columbia label in the upper left. The sleeve features a dynamic color illustration from the world of Japanese animation, with recognizable manga-style characters from the Saint Seiya (Knights of the Zodiac) series. The drawings show armored knights in vivid colors, a female figure with long purple hair, and a central character in silver and red armor, surrounded by other figures in epic poses. In the background, an imposing red creature dominates the composition, adding a dramatic dimension to the overall visual.

The cover artwork is typical of Japanese animated productions from the late 1980s and early 1990s, with colorful treatment, sharp outlines, and dynamic staging. The Japanese logo in the upper right, accompanied by English text (track titles such as "OVER THE... DIAMOND DUST.", "GOLDEN HEART."), confirms an official Japanese edition, likely intended for the anime music market.

The sleeve has a glossy finish (visible reflection in the photo) and appears to be under protective plastic film, suggesting good preservation of the visible side. No major defects are apparent on this side: no tears, writing, or visible stains. The colors are vibrant, the details precise, and the inscriptions perfectly legible on the front.

The record is not visible in the photo (closed sleeve), but the presence of the 33 rpm vinyl is certified by the format and the mentions on the sleeve. The graphic style and armored characters confirm that it is a product derived from the Saint Seiya animated series, very popular in the 80s-90s.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. The front of the sleeve visible in the photo is in very good apparent condition, protected by a plastic film. No major defects are visible on this side.

Did you know? The animated series Saint Seiya, also known as Knights of the Zodiac, was first broadcast in Japan in 1986. It became an international phenomenon, particularly thanks to its iconic soundtrack, composed by Seiji Yokoyama, which marked a whole generation of anime fans.
