Tom Jones DECCA vintage 45 rpm vinyl Pledging My Love original sleeve

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This 45 rpm vinyl record features the original cover art for the single "Pledging My Love / I'm Too Far Gone" performed by Tom Jones. The visible side of the cover displays a color photographic portrait of Tom Jones, taken from the waist up, arms on hips, wearing a dark shirt and a large belt with a decorative buckle, against a light background. The titles of the two songs are printed in the upper left: "pledging my love" (in red letters) and "I'm too far gone" (in black), with "TOM JONES" in bright orange capital letters on the right side. The DECCA label logo is in a white box in the lower right, and the reference 86 037 is visible in the upper right of the cover.

The graphic style and photography evoke a typical 1970s aesthetic, with a simple layout and typographical choices characteristic of that period. The cover appears to be made of thin cardboard, with a matte finish, with no apparent metallic or lacquered effect on this side. The colors are slightly patinated, indicating some age, and the photo retains good sharpness.

This record is a 45 rpm (single format), as indicated by the presentation and the mention in the keywords. The visible side shows no illustration on the back, nor any other elements than those described above.

The item is photographed resting on a carved wooden table, in an old library setting, which does not affect the description of the record but highlights the contrast between the vintage musical object and the classic environment.

Condition

The cover shows visible signs of wear: slightly blunted corners, handling marks, and general patination on the surface. No major snags or tears are visible on the presented side. The record has not been tested; its working condition is therefore not guaranteed. Used item, sold as is.
