Black Blood 45RPM AIE A Mwana original retro sleeve
AFW - Antique France Worldwide
Description
This 45 rpm vinyl record features the original cover of the single "A.I.E A Mwana" by the group Black Blood, along with the track "Marie-Thérèse". The cover is square-shaped, predominantly turquoise, with contrasting inscriptions in bright pink and black. The central visual shows a color photograph of the group, consisting of five smiling members, against a natural background. The typography of the main title "A.I.E A MWANA" is large and colorful, with the mention "ORIGINAL VERSION" on a diagonal strip at the top left, which emphasizes the authentic character of this edition.
The lower part of the cover displays the group's name "BLACK BLOOD" in stylized capital letters, as well as the "biram" label logo and the mention "serie PARADE" in the lower right corner, typical elements of vinyl productions from the retro period. The visible side shows no stickers or handwritten annotations, and the entire print remains legible. The overall appearance strongly evokes musical productions from the 1970s, both in its graphics and in the photograph of the group.
The cover shows slight signs of wear visible on the upper and lower edges, including some folds and marks, which is normal for a used vinyl from that era. No major tears are apparent on the front. The cardboard surface displays a soft patina, characteristic of prolonged storage, with some small discrete marks on the lower turquoise area.
The disc itself is not visible in the photo; only the cover is presented. No details on the condition of the vinyl can therefore be given here. The visual appearance of the cover, its colors, and its retro graphic style confirm the authenticity of this old edition, sought after for its typical aesthetic and its importance in the history of Afro-European popular music.
The following inscriptions are clearly legible: "A.I.E A MWANA", "MARIE-THERESE", "BLACK BLOOD", "ORIGINAL VERSION", "biram", "serie PARADE". These elements ensure the precise identification of this edition.
