Stevie Wonder Sir Duke Motown 45 RPM vinyl original vintage sleeve

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

45 rpm vinyl record by Stevie Wonder, titled "Sir Duke", shown here with its original sleeve. The face shown features a close-up photographic portrait of Stevie Wonder wearing large tinted glasses, against a black and white graphic background. The inscription "Stevie Wonder" and the title "Sir Duke" are printed in the upper right in red and black letters, in an elegant and retro typography.

In the lower right of the sleeve is a stylized representation of the album "Songs in the Key of Life" with concentric circles graded from yellow to red, and the Motown logo in the lower left of this illustration. The reference "2C 006-98912" is visible in the upper left of the sleeve, attesting to a European edition. The record itself is not visible in the image; only the front cover is shown.

The sleeve shows moderate signs of wear: some marks, scuffs, and slight stains are noticeable on the white background, characteristic of a used vinyl record that has survived several decades. The main colors are red, orange, yellow, white, and black, with a visual effect typical of Motown productions from the late 1970s.

The graphic design, Stevie Wonder's photo, and the presence of the Motown logo clearly place this item among the emblematic vintage soul and funk vinyls. The whole highlights the authentic nature of this edition, prized for its aesthetic as much as for its musical value.

The record is presented standing, leaning on a wooden piece of furniture, outdoors, with a classic building in the background. This context highlights the contrast between the vintage musical object and traditional architecture.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. The sleeve shows visible signs of wear, with no major apparent tears on the front shown. The colors remain vibrant despite some traces of handling and age.

Did you know? The song "Sir Duke" is a tribute by Stevie Wonder to Duke Ellington, one of the greatest American jazz composers and bandleaders. Released in 1977 on the album "Songs in the Key of Life", the single quickly became a classic, reaching number one on the American charts.
