Description

This CD, visible in the photo, features a Georges Brassens album released by the Philips label. The front cover displays a color photographic portrait of the artist, in profile, against a green background, characteristic of the sober presentation of Brassens reissues or compilations by Philips. The name "GEORGES BRASSENS" appears at the top, the first name in white characters and the surname in gold capitalized letters with red relief, immediately recognizable to French song enthusiasts.

The tracklist, printed in yellow on the right side of the sleeve, notably mentions "Mourir pour des idées" (To Die for Ideas), "Le roi" (The King), "Les passantes" (The Passers-by), and "À l’ombre des maris" (In the Shadow of Husbands), confirming a collection of Brassens' emblematic songs. The Philips logo stands out in the upper right corner, a collector's item for any lover of vintage French records.

The CD case is made of rigid transparent plastic, typical of editions from the 1990s to early 2000s, revealing the front cover. No major defects are visible on this side, apart from minor signs of use perceptible on the plastic surface. A discrete handwritten mark is visible at the top of the cover, without hindering overall readability.

The photographic presentation highlights the object placed on a carved wooden furniture piece, suggesting an elegant and carefully thought-out staging, ideal for illustrating the vintage and authentic aspect of this CD. The overall visual appearance of the cover conforms to Philips' production standards for the Brassens repertoire, with clear printing and faithfully reproduced colors.
