AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This 45 rpm vinyl record features the single "Dance The Kung Fu" by Carl Douglas, as shown on the sleeve visible in the photo. The sleeve features a graphic design typical of the 1970s, with a bright blue background and stylized red lettering evoking the disco-funk aesthetic of the era. In the center, a color photograph of Carl Douglas in black attire, wearing a red headband, occupies most of the jacket. His dynamic pose, with raised fists, directly references the song's title and the visual universe of kung fu, which was very popular in the popular culture of that decade.

The sleeve also displays the PYE label, clearly visible in the bottom right corner, as well as the reference "45. PY. 12024" at the top right. The inscription "CHANGING TIMES" below the artist's name suggests the presence of a B-side with this title, a common practice for 45 rpm singles of that period.

The object photographed shows a matte cardboard sleeve, typical of vinyl records from this era. The main colors observed are blue, red, yellow, and black. The graphic style and layout are perfectly representative of the funk and disco-oriented musical productions of the 70s. The bottom right edge of the sleeve has a torn area, showing significant wear and a tear that partially affects the visual. Other signs of handling and aging are visible, reinforcing the vintage and authentic character of this record.

The record is not visible in the photo; only the front sleeve is shown. No details about the back, the vinyl's central label, or the condition of the record itself can be observed from this image.
