AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This 45 rpm vinyl record honors Tom Jones, an iconic figure of the international pop scene, released under the Decca label. The sleeve visible in the photo features a color portrait of the singer in a dark suit and white shirt, against a neutral background, with his name "TOM JONES" in yellow capital letters on a purple background, a typography typical of the late 60s/early 70s. The titles "a minute of your time" and "looking out my window" are printed on the right side of the sleeve, in white and yellow respectively, providing a distinct graphic contrast. The DECCA logo is clearly visible in the bottom left corner.

The reference "79.035 hit parade" is indicated in the upper left corner of the sleeve, confirming the original Decca edition. The overall presentation has a characteristic retro aesthetic of this period, with a slightly patinated photographic visual and saturated colors highly representative of 1970s graphic design.

The visible record is a 45 rpm (single vinyl format), intended for playing singles. The cardboard sleeve shows some signs of wear and rubbing, visible on the surface, including slight marks and original patina. No other elements or accessories are visible in the photo; only the front of the sleeve is shown.

The overall style of the object, typography, and graphic treatment confirm the probable dating to the late 1960s or very early 1970s, consistent with Tom Jones's international career at that time. The object is suitable for wall display, on a shelf, or for regular use with a turntable adapted to the 45 rpm format.
