AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This listing is for an audio cassette (K7 format) featuring the album "La Belle de Cadix" performed by Luis Mariano, accompanied by Georges Guétary. The front cover, clearly visible in the photo, displays a black and white portrait of Luis Mariano, with a stylized background evoking a feminine silhouette in a red dress, typical of Spanish operetta imagery. The title "Les Princes de l’Opérette" appears at the top, while "Versions originales" is at the bottom of the cover, indicating that these are original recordings from that era.

The cassette is presented in its clear hard case with a sleeve inserted under plastic, visible through the front. The overall appearance is retro, both in typography and graphics, with a layout characteristic of musical productions from the mid to late 20th century. The predominance of black, white, and red colors gives the item a distinct aesthetic, reinforced by the photography and graphic elements specific to the world of operetta.

The inscription "Luis Mariano" is clearly legible, as is the title "La Belle de Cadix." Georges Guétary's name is also visible, though more discreetly, attesting to their collaboration on this recording. No other technical details or references appear on the visible side of the cassette. The overall condition of the cover appears good, with no tears or apparent defects in the provided photo.

The plastic case shows clear transparency, with no major scratches or visible clouding on the exposed side. No structural defects are observable on this side: the corners are sharp, the closure appears intact, and the overall item is well-preserved.

This K7 cassette is aimed at lovers of retro music, operetta, and variety, as well as those seeking authentic recording media from past decades. It is a faithful testament to popular French and Spanish-influenced musical productions of the 20th century, and a typical piece for anyone wishing to rediscover the sound and visual charm of analog media.
