AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This audio cassette (K7) features the musical ensemble of the Republican Guard under the direction of Roger Boutry. The visible cover shows a colorful image of members of the Republican Guard in uniform, in full parade. The main title "LA GARDE REPUBLICAINE" appears in red capital letters, accompanied by the mention "Direction : Roger BOUTRY" just below. The bottom part of the cover lists the program's flagship titles, including "Marche de la Légion Étrangère", "Marche de la 2ème DB", "Sambre et Meuse", "Marche de Printemps" as well as "Quand Madelon...".

The cassette is presented in its clear plastic case, with a paper insert. The printing on the insert is clear, with a dominant red, blue, and white, typical of French patriotic illustrations. No record label logo or visible reference on the shown side, suggesting an older or semi-official pressing, likely from the 1980s-1990s, in line with the graphic style and K7 audio format. The overall visual evokes the repertoire of French military music and historical marches.

The plastic case visible in the photo has a shiny appearance, without chips or apparent cracks on the front. The insert appears well-preserved, without major stains or creases. The text is fully legible on the front, and the cassette itself is not visible in this image.

The graphic elements, with silhouettes of musicians and sketched flags, reinforce the official and traditional character of this edition dedicated to military marches. This type of cassette is sought after for listening to French patriotic music, collecting vintage audio media, or as sound illustration for commemorative events.
