AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This 45 rpm vinyl record celebrates the famous group ABBA, featuring the original cover of the single "Take a Chance On Me" and "I’m a Marionette". The visible side shows a color photograph of the four band members in a characteristic 70s staging, each wearing a stylized outfit marked by the pop aesthetic of the era. The ABBA logo is prominently displayed on a centered red band, topped by the main track title in yellow letters. The mention "45. X. 140357" is printed in the upper right, indicating the pressing reference.

The outer sleeve displays the "Melba Disques" logo in the bottom left, confirming a French edition. The black background highlights the figures and the vibrant colors of their clothes, while the yellow typography of the title reinforces the visual impact. The top edge of the sleeve shows slight signs of wear, typical of an old record that has been handled, without affecting the legibility of the inscriptions or the general appearance.

The record itself is not visible in the image; only the front cover is shown. The corners show small creases and marks of use, consistent with the object's age. No major chips or significant tears are observable on the exposed side. The visual remains clear and the colors well-preserved, offering an authentic retro look.

The photograph highlights the original graphic design, with a composition centered on the group and a chromatic palette faithful to the disco-pop style of the late 1970s. The matte appearance of the sleeve and the presence of slight reflections indicate standard paper used during this period for common editions, without any particular glossy effect.

Condition

Used item sold as is. Visible signs of wear on the sleeve (marked corners, slight crease in the bottom right), typical of a vintage vinyl. No major tears or apparent structural defects on the visible side.
