AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

45 rpm vinyl record by the group a-ha, titled "The Sun Always Shines on T.V.", presented in its original sleeve. The visible side of the sleeve features a photograph of the Norwegian band, with a male trio highlighted against a dark background, typical of 1980s pop aesthetics. The band's name, "a-ha", appears twice in distinctive lettering: in yellow at the top right, and at the bottom center on a grey, pasted-paper-like background, reinforcing the band's visual identity.

The single's title, "THE SUN ALWAYS SHINES ON T.V.", is inscribed in white capital letters on the upper left part of the sleeve. The contrasts of light on the faces and the use of shadow are characteristic of music press photography of the era. The graphic design, simple and effective, highlights the attitude and style of the band, representative of the 80s pop/new wave scene.

The sleeve appears to be in used condition, with some slight reflections and visible signs of wear on the surface, particularly on the dark areas and lettering. No major chips or tears are visible on this side. The dominant colors are black, white, yellow, and shades of gray, corresponding to the single's visual identity.

This record is a 45 rpm (single) format, as indicated in the keywords. It is a vinyl medium, highly prized for analog sound reproduction. The visible side does not show any indication of label, serial number, or other technical details, which may appear on the other side or on the record itself, not visible here.

Condition
