AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This 45 rpm vinyl record features a colorful illustration on its cover depicting a Nativity scene, with several characters dressed in traditional tunics, carrying offerings and fruit baskets, in a graphic style typical of the 1970s. The title "JOHN WILLIAM NOËL" appears in the upper right, printed in red and gold letters, with the reference "EX 45 570" clearly visible in the upper right corner.

The sleeve boasts a detailed design highlighting the richness of colors: ochre, red, green, and orange tones dominate, accompanied by touches of blue and yellow. The characters are depicted in profile or full-face, with particular attention paid to expressions and accessories, such as a lamb carried on the shoulders, a pitcher, or an abundant fruit basket. The UNIDISC logo is visible in the lower left, indicating the record's publishing label.

The item is presented resting on a carved table with floral decorations, in an environment reminiscent of the interior of a church or cathedral, with stained glass windows in the background. No major defects are apparent on the visible side of the sleeve, apart from some light traces of use, typical of an old record. The whole retains an original appearance, true to the era of production.

The typography of the title and the graphic composition suggest an authentic edition, probably from the 1970s, a period during which John William recorded several thematic titles for the holidays. This 45 rpm record, untested, is sold in its original condition, with its period illustrated jacket.

This 45 rpm vinyl record is ideal for lovers of retro music, Christmas carols, or for enhancing a vintage holiday decoration. The artistic jacket and religious theme make it a piece that is as decorative as it is musical.
