Allan Mac Kay Help Me Stay - Rare Vintage Picture Sleeve 45 RPM Vinyl

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This 45 rpm vinyl record features Allan Mac Kay's single "Help Me, Stay". The cover, visible in the photo, displays a distinctive graphic style with a minimalist red and black facial drawing, evoking an 80s aesthetic. The artist's name, "Allan Mac Kay," is inscribed in the upper right, while the title "help me, stay" appears at the bottom of the cover in very expressive black handwritten script.

The visible side shows a white-backed paper sleeve, its surface revealing some creases and signs of wear, typical of a used vinyl record. The illustration catches the eye with its contrast between the vivid red of the drawing and the black of the handwritten text. No other text or logo is apparent on this side, apart from those mentioned above.

The square format of the sleeve corresponds to the standard for 45 rpm singles, also known as "SP" or "seven inch" in the record world. The overall presentation evokes a pop/new wave style, common in the graphic production of 80s vinyl covers, but with no precise year indicated on the visible side.

The item offered is a single vinyl record, intended to be played on a turntable adapted to the 45T format. The illustrated cover plays an important role in the visual identity of this type of release, and the minimalist composition enhances the impact of the title and artist's name.

The photograph only shows the front side of the cover; no information about the back, the record label, or the presence of an insert is visible. Only the front part, with its illustration and inscriptions, is described here according to the available view.

Condition
