AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description
45 RPM vinyl record visible in the photo, illustrated by a color sleeve featuring a blonde woman sitting on outdoor steps, wearing a white dress with a plunging neckline. The front of the sleeve displays the band's name "I Santo California" in red letters at the top left, and the title "monica" in blue at the center. At the bottom left, the mention "b/w 'soli io e te'" indicates the presence of a B-side titled "soli io e te". The Philips logo appears at the top right, confirming the publishing label. The graphics and photography clearly evoke the visual style of the 1970s, typical of Italian pop of that period.

The record presented is a 45 RPM single, as confirmed by the keywords and the appearance of the sleeve. The visible side shows the front sleeve, well-centered, with slightly faded colors, indicating its age. The visual support is made of paper or flexible cardboard, with slight signs of wear, creases, and scuffs visible on the edges and surface, with no apparent major tears. The color print remains vibrant, particularly on the lettering and photography, despite the natural wear and tear over time.

The graphic style, the Philips logo, and the typography are characteristic of European music productions from the mid to late 70s. The iconography (natural pose, outdoor lighting, flowing white dress) corresponds to the romantic Italian pop aesthetic of that era. No other accessories or inserts are visible on the displayed side.

The sleeve does not show any specific graphic signature or mention of a visual artist in the visible area. The arrangement of the titles, the association with the group I Santo California, and the presence of the Philips logo make it a vintage pop music item, sought after for its aesthetics and its faithful representation of the Italian music scene of the time.

The record is presented outdoors, placed on stone steps, which highlights the contrast between the vintage sleeve and the classic architectural background. This emphasizes the potential decorative aspect of this sleeve, in addition to its musical interest.
