AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

45 rpm vinyl single, illustrated here by its original sleeve. This is the single "Barbie" performed by Lio, an iconic figure of 80s French-speaking pop. The visible side of the sleeve features a photographic visual typical of this decade, with Lio posing in front of a bright red background, applying lipstick, leaning on a blue motorcycle with shiny chrome. Her clothing style, gold earrings, and voluminous hairstyle perfectly evoke the New Wave pop aesthetic of the era.

The jacket features a crisp color print, with the name "LIO" in large black capital letters and the title "BARBIE" below, also in capital letters, enhancing readability and graphic impact. In the bottom left, the "Polydor" logo is clearly visible, attesting to the original label's edition. The barcode and reference "885 484-7 PO 102" appear on the bottom right, confirming the official release. No other text or major flaws are visible on the presented side.

The sleeve design, with its bold colors and tight framing of the artist, is typical of pop productions from the first half of the 1980s. The cardboard texture appears standard for the time, with a slight patina visible on the edges, particularly a noticeable crease on the bottom right corner.

This 45 rpm vinyl record is intended for playback on a suitable turntable. No inserts or additional accessories are visible in the photo. The visible side of the sleeve does not show any autograph or handwritten markings.

Did you know? Lio, a Belgian artist born Wanda Ribeiro de Vasconcelos, made her mark on the French-speaking pop scene from the late 70s. "Barbie" is a single from her second studio album, released in 1986 under the Polydor label. The visual aesthetic of her sleeves has become emblematic of the glamorous pop style of that period.
