AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This 45 rpm vinyl record features Chris Rea's "Josephine" single, identifiable by its illustrated cover with typical 1980s graphics. The visible side of the cover displays an artistic composition combining drawn and photographed elements: red gloves, flowers, a purple ribbon, and shadow effects are discernible, in a palette of predominantly grey, red, and purple tones. The artist's name "CHRIS REA" is inscribed vertically in large yellow letters on the left side, while the title "Josephine" appears in red in a stylized handwritten script. A blue sticker visible on the cover indicates a former price, highlighting the authentic and used nature of the item.

The record format is a 45 rpm single, as suggested by its compact and square appearance, conforming to the standards of vinyl singles from that era. The semi-glossy cover features a visually dense graphic design, characteristic of 1980s British pop and rock productions. No record label logo or additional information is visible on the presented side.

The cover shows some minor surface wear, particularly on the edges, which is common for a vintage vinyl. However, the overall visual integrity is good, with no tears or major apparent defects on the visible area. The general appearance remains decorative and attractive for a vinyl record enthusiast or a collector of 80s musical memorabilia.

Condition

This 45 rpm vinyl is a used item, sold as is. The cover shows slight signs of use visible in the photo but remains in good overall condition, with no major structural defects on the exposed side.
