Double CD 36 Golden Legends of Song II, Maurice Chevalier, vintage music

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This lot includes a double CD case visible in the photo, titled "36 Légendes d'or de la chanson II" (36 Golden Legends of Song II). The front of the case features a sepia-toned cover, with three photographic portraits of iconic French singers: Maurice Chevalier, Jean Sablon, and Josephine Baker. The main title is printed in black letters on a gold background, clearly legible at the top of the cover. The inscription "2 CD" appears in the upper right corner on a black background, indicating that it is a double disc set.

Below the title, several artist names are mentioned: Tino Rossi, Jean Gabin, Rina Ketty, and the phrase "et beaucoup d’autres" (and many others) suggests a compilation of popular standards. The transparent plastic case shows reflections and a slight patina due to age, giving the set a vintage appearance. A small handwritten white sticker ("Jcc") is visible in the upper right corner of the cover.

The portraits are printed in distinct rectangles, each accompanied by the artist's name at the bottom of the photo. The overall visual evokes a tribute to the great voices of 20th-century French song, in a sober design typical of music compilations released in the late 1990s or early 2000s.

The general condition of the case shows some signs of use, including light scratches visible on the plastic surface and a patina on the edges. No major chips or cracks are visible on the front. The inscriptions are clear and legible. The spine of the case is not visible in the photo.
