AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This 45 rpm vinyl record is an original edition of the single "The Fool / Hide Away" by Gilbert Montagné, released under the CBS label (reference CBS 7315). The cover features a black and white photograph of the artist, sitting at the piano, wearing dark glasses, in a style typical of the 1970s. The inscriptions "GILBERT MONTAGNÉ", "THE FOOL", "HIDE AWAY" as well as the CBS logo and the reference are clearly visible on the front.

The cover has a classic rectangular design, with a matte finish and predominantly grey-black shades. The corners are slightly blunted and moderate wear is visible on the left edge, as well as a more pronounced wear mark at the bottom right. No other visuals or text are visible on this side.

The vinyl is not visible in the photo; only the front cover is shown. The visual aspect suggests a period print, without shiny or metallic elements, and the overall aesthetic remains retro, true to the record production of the seventies.

This 45 rpm record, sometimes called a single or EP, is sought after for the song "The Fool", one of Gilbert Montagné's first international hits. The simple and elegant presentation of the cover, combined with the notoriety of the title, makes it a popular vintage music item in the vinyl record market.

The lettering and logos are clear and well-preserved, despite signs of use. The photograph of the artist, in action at the piano, gives an authentic feel to this CBS edition.
