Tom Jones - Till - 45 RPM DECCA Vintage

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This 45 rpm vinyl record features a color photograph of Tom Jones performing live, microphone in hand, against a backdrop of warm lights. The illustration covers the entire front cover, with the artist's name "TOM JONES" in stylized white letters at the bottom, accompanied by the DECCA logo on the right. The titles "TILL" and "IL EST MORT LE SOLEIL (THE SUN DIED)" are inscribed in the upper left, in a contrasting yellow and white font, clearly legible against the dark background. Also in the upper left is the "THE DECCA RECORD COMPANY LIMITED" rainbow logo, typical of European pressings from the period. The reference visible in the upper right ("84.019") identifies this specific pressing.

The sleeve displays a graphic and photographic style characteristic of the 1970s, with a typical arrangement for international variety music of that era. The photo shows Tom Jones wearing a dark three-piece suit, wide tie, and light shirt, in a dynamic pose. The dominant colors are black, the orange-red of the luminous background, and the white of the lettering. The visible surface shows signs of wear, including creases and marks on the cardboard sleeve, indicating an old item that has been handled.

The record is not visible in the photo; only the front cover is shown. No details of the back, the condition of the vinyl, or the record label are observable here. The overall appearance corresponds to a simple 45 rpm single, standard for this type of musical production of the period.

The inscriptions are clear and confirm the DECCA edition, a renowned record company, and the presence of the titles "Till" and "Il est mort le soleil" (French adaptation of "The Sun Died"). The visual is eye-catching with its typical staging of 1970s show business.

Condition

Used item sold as is. The sleeve shows visible signs of wear: creases, marks, and scuffs on the front cover. Since the record has not been tested, its playing condition is not guaranteed.

Did you know? Tom Jones, a Welsh singer with an international career, was one of DECCA's leading artists in the 60s and 70s.
