AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description This 45 RPM vinyl record features an illustrated sleeve in a Japanese anime style. The visible side shows a pastoral scene with two children, one sitting cross-legged dressed in red, the other sitting on the grass with a green hat, surrounded by white sheep with hand-drawn outlines. The illustration is characteristic of Japanese animated productions, with a blue sky and a few pink clouds, against a green meadow dotted with pink flowers.

The sleeve features large Japanese titles, printed in red and green at the top, and a pink banner at the bottom right with white characters, evoking a graphic style typical of children's animated series from the 70s-80s. At the bottom left, the "COLUMBIA RECORDS" logo indicates the label, and a colored band (red, black, blue) bears a Japanese inscription, reinforcing the manga/animation aspect.

The record is housed in a clear plastic sleeve, revealing the entire illustrated side with no major visible flaws on the sleeve. The print retains sharp colors, with no noticeable alteration, and the corners of the sleeve show good overall condition. No other elements (back side, actual record) are visible in this photo.

The visible elements suggest a product intended for a young audience, likely related to an animated series or a popular Japanese tale adapted into the world of TV manga. The presence of sheep and child characters, as well as the pastel color palette, reinforce the soft and childlike aspect of the visual.

The overall impression evokes Japanese record productions for children or anime fans, often released for TV series or youth programs, with particular care given to the sleeve illustration.
