AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This 45 rpm vinyl record, visible in the photo, is the original version of Patrick Cowley's "Menergy", a classic of 80s disco and electronic music. The sleeve features a dominant white background with large red and black characters for the title "MENERGY", accompanied by the words "ORIGINALE Version" and "N°1 U.S.A" in the top right. The artist's name "Patrick Cowley" appears in the bottom right, also in red and black, with typography faithful to the American disco aesthetic of the era.

The sleeve's visual design is distinguished by a graphic pattern of stars aligned in a triangle, evoking the American flag, and the "BLACK SCORPIO" label mentioned in the bottom left. A handwritten signature appears in the center, written upside down, adding a distinctive touch to this pressing. The overall graphic design, with its vibrant colors and typographic elements, is characteristic of early 1980s dance and club productions.

The sleeve shows visible signs of wear: there is a torn or discolored area on the upper central part, as well as handling marks and possible dirt on the rest of the surface. The corners are slightly rounded, indicating past use, but without any major tears visible on the front. No record appears in this image; only the sleeve is shown.

The design of this sleeve, with its prominent inscriptions and starry graphic style, is typical of the American disco era, making the item immediately recognizable to vintage vinyl and electronic music enthusiasts. The ensemble is presented in a sober indoor setting, highlighting the contrast between the sleeve and the architectural background.
