Vinyl 45 RPM Christmas Sky Collection vintage, star sleeve, rare record
AFW - Antique France Worldwide
Description
This 45 rpm vinyl features a colorful, festive-themed sleeve, clearly titled "Noël Collection" with "SKY" written underneath. The visible side of the sleeve shows a light blue dominant at the top, fading to a bright yellow at the bottom, adorned with many small multicolored stars (blue, pink, yellow). A large white star occupies the upper central part, overlooking the title written in thick pink letters. This graphic design, typical of festive productions from the late 1970s, immediately evokes the Christmas spirit and vintage themed compilations. In the bottom right, a blue "DISC R" logo is visible, and the mention "DISTRIBUTION DISCODIS" appears discreetly in the bottom left. The inscription "1977" is also noticeable in the upper left, suggesting an edition from this period.
The sleeve is square-shaped, with slightly rounded corners and moderate wear visible on the edges, typical of old vinyls handled multiple times. The cardboard has a matte sheen, with no apparent metallic effect. The printing is clear, with original colors well preserved despite some signs of rubbing and a slight age patina. No other decorative elements or text are visible on the displayed side.
The graphic style, with its rounded, thick letters, bright colors, and starry motifs, is consistent with the festive and popular aesthetic of the 70s. This type of visual was common for music compilations intended for a wide audience, especially for the holiday season.
The mention "SKY" indicates the label or publisher of this compilation, while the distribution by Discodis confirms its market release in France at the time. The "DISC R" logo in the bottom right refers to the type of pressing or series.
The visible side does not allow for identification of the precise musical content, but the title "Noël Collection" suggests a selection of Christmas songs or music, typical of vintage seasonal records.
Condition
