Vinyl 45 rpm Pete Townshend Face The Face vintage old record retro

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This 45 RPM vinyl features the original sleeve of Pete Townshend's single "Face The Face," identifiable by the black and white photograph of the artist in a suit, as well as the colored inscriptions characteristic of 1980s design. The sleeve boasts graphic patterns and modern typography, with the name "PETE TOWNSHEND" at the top right on a yellow band and the title "FACE THE FACE" at the bottom left on a red and blue background. The architectural elements in the background reinforce the urban and contemporary feel of the sleeve.

The visible side of the sleeve shows signs of use, such as slight handling marks and creases, particularly in the lower corners, with no major apparent tears. The colors remain well-contrasted, with a predominance of gray, white, and black tones, enhanced by touches of yellow and red. No stickers or handwritten annotations are visible on the exposed part.

The 45 RPM format is confirmed by the compact size observable in the photo as well as by the explicit mention in the keywords. This is a classic medium for 80s singles, particularly appreciated by vinyl record enthusiasts for its analog sound rendering and illustrated sleeve.

The overall presentation highlights a graphic style typical of the post-new wave period, with a refined aesthetic and a play on the superposition of images and typography. The slightly satin appearance of the sleeve suggests a glossy paper finish, common at the time, but the exact material is not specified.

Condition

Used item sold as is. The whole shows visible signs of wear on the sleeve (creases, handling marks), with no major structural defect apparent on the exposed side.

Did you know? Pete Townshend is primarily known as a member of the band The Who. "Face The Face" is taken from his solo album "White City: A Novel" released in 1985, a project that blends rock and electronic influences, and whose sleeve reflects the graphic aesthetic of the era.
