AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description
Vintage 45 rpm vinyl record featuring an illustrated period sleeve, titled "Dansons joyeusement" (Let's Dance Joyfully) and performed by Marino Marini and his quartet, Vol.9. The sleeve shows a black and white photograph of the band in elegant attire, with visible instruments (double bass, guitar), against a backdrop reminiscent of a Venetian scene. The main inscriptions are in purple and white, adding a typical touch of 1950s-60s graphic design. The titles mentioned on the front cover are: "Chella 'lla", "Rock Around the Clock", "Donne e Pistole", "Malaguena".

This record is referenced under the Vogue Dureum label, number DVEP 95.021, information clearly indicated on the bottom right corner of the sleeve. The mention "Vol.9" appears prominently, confirming it is part of a series. The graphic style and layout, with handwritten typography and pastel colors, are characteristic of European musical productions from the late 1950s to early 1960s.

The cardboard sleeve is in a simple format, with four-color printing. A partially erased golden sticker is visible at the top right, indicating prior circulation in a store or media library. The vinyl is not visible in this photo, but the sleeve appears to contain the record, and the edges show signs of wear, creases, and scuffs, typical of an old, circulated record.

The back is not shown, but the front is sufficient to precisely identify the edition: Marino Marini and his quartet, Vol.9, on Dureum Vogue, reference DVEP 95.021. This type of 45 rpm, also known as an EP (extended play), was popular for offering 4 tracks on a single small-format vinyl record.

The dominant colors are black, white, purple, and blue, with a stylized graphic pattern at the bottom of the sleeve. The retro design and the presence of the title "Rock Around the Clock" recall the influence of rock and roll on the Italian and French music scene of the time.
