AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description
45 RPM vinyl record of the song "Wonderful Life" performed by BLACK, presented here in its original sleeve. The visible side of the sleeve features a striking black and white design, typical of the 1980s pop/new wave style. The jacket shows an urban photograph with industrial chimneys and a figure walking in the center, creating a cinematic and melancholic atmosphere. The artist's name "BLACK" appears in the upper left in a black box, while the title "WONDERFUL LIFE" is written in white capital letters on a dark background, perfectly legible.

The sleeve's graphic design uses a strong contrast between dark and light areas, enhancing the visual effect of the photograph. A few lines of text at the bottom left ("No need to run and hide", "It’s a wonderful, wonderful life", "No need to laugh and cry") echo the song's lyrics, detailing the minimalist and refined aesthetic of the whole. The edges and surface of the sleeve visible in the photo appear in good visual condition, with no apparent tears or stains, although superficial signs of use or wear may be present out of frame.

This 45 RPM record (vinyl single format) is a traditional analog medium, appreciated for its characteristic sound reproduction and vintage appeal. The sleeve, in its classic square format, is made of flexible cardboard with a matte finish, typical of European pressings of the era. No label logo, barcode, or year mention is directly visible on the presented side, but the graphic identity and photographic style are immediately recognizable to genre enthusiasts.

The industrial visual and the use of sober typography clearly place this record in the British pop/new wave movement of the late 1980s, an era in which "Wonderful Life" by BLACK became an international classic. This type of vinyl single is distinguished by its practicality and decorative appeal, whether for listening or display.
