Vintage WEA I Won't Let You Down 45 rpm vinyl old retro single

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This 45 rpm vinyl record features the cover for the single "I Won't Let You Down" with the B-side "Hideaway". The item visible in the photo is a cardboard sleeve with a red graphic design, adorned with musical staves and white notations, typical of 1980s pop/new wave style. The main title "I Won't Let You Down" is prominently displayed in large, stylized white letters, accompanied by "b/w Hideaway" below. Also visible are the album excerpt "P. D." and the reference "WEA 18.799", as well as a WEA logo in the bottom left, indicating the record label.

The sleeve shows visible signs of use: it is slightly warped and has some noticeable creases, especially in the upper and lower corners. The musical graphic printed on a red background is accentuated by a graphic texture effect, adding a characteristic retro touch of 80s vinyl sleeves. A partially legible handwritten inscription in blue pen in the upper left adds a personalized and authentic note to this copy.

On the visible side, no illustration of the artist is present; the design relies on musical abstraction. The typography and general presentation evoke the pop and synthetic world of the era, reinforcing the decorative and collectible aspect of this record. The WEA (Warner-Elektra-Atlantic) logo attests to an official label edition, common for international singles distributed in France in the 80s.

The cardboard sleeve, without a window or cut-out, is typical of 45 rpm singles intended for the European market. The whole is well-centered in the photo, placed on a wooden surface outdoors, which highlights the red hue and the contrast of the white patterns. No record is visible; only the sleeve is shown in this image.

Condition

Did you know? The WEA label, created in 1971, brought together Warner Bros., Elektra, and Atlantic record companies under one banner, playing a key role in the international distribution of many pop and rock singles during the 1980s.
