AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This 45 RPM vinyl record features Paul Anka, an iconic figure in North American popular music from the 1950s-1960s. The sleeve visible in the photo shows a black and white portrait of the singer, displaying a wide smile, accompanied by his name "Paul Anka" in colorful letters (blue, red, green, black) in the upper right part. The graphic design, typical of the period, combines the sobriety of the photographic portrait with the modernity of the colorful characters, reflecting the visual style of the 50s-60s.

The front cover mentions the "Vega" label in the upper left, as well as the "ABC-Paramount" logo in the lower right, attesting to the original edition. A list of four titles appears in the lower right on a blue background: "Just Young", "So It's Goodbye", "Your Cheatin' Heart", "Jambalaya", accompanied by the mention "Orchestra conducted by Don Costa". These elements confirm that it is a single vinyl (45 RPM) with several songs in its repertoire.

The sleeve shows visible signs of wear, including age marks on the edges, scuffs, as well as slight tears and stains mainly on the upper part. The portrait print remains clear, despite the patina of time, and the texts are legible. The upper edge bears a handwritten label or marking, typical of old copies that circulated in shops or music libraries.

The square format of the sleeve, the graphic aesthetics, and the typography are characteristic of record productions from the late 1950s and early 1960s. The vibrant colors of the lettering contrast with the sobriety of the portrait, for a resolutely retro look evoking the golden age of vinyl.

The record itself is not visible in the photo; only the front view of the sleeve is presented. No details about the back or the condition of the vinyl can be observed from this image. This French edition highlights Paul Anka's popularity with the French-speaking audience of the time.
