Description

45 rpm vinyl record, Polydor edition, titled L’amant du soleil et de la musique by Pierre Bigouire. The cover features a colorful and typically retro design, with an orange-yellow background depicting a stylized sun, a lizard illustrated in the upper left corner, and a photograph of a bearded man singing into a microphone, cigarette in hand. The main title "l’amant du soleil" appears at the bottom right, with a red and black band, while "et de la musique" is printed vertically on the right side. The artist's name, Pierre Bigouire, is written on the left edge.

The Polydor logo, characteristic of French pressings from the 1970s-1980s, is clearly visible at the bottom left of the cover, accompanied by the reference "2056 543" at the top right. The dominant colors are yellow, orange, red, and black, giving the whole a warm aesthetic typical of musical productions from that period.

The cover shows visible signs of wear: blunted corners, creases on the edges, and slight handling marks, which is consistent with an old, circulated record. No details of the inner record are visible in the photo; only the front of the cover is shown.

The graphics blend realistic photography and illustration, with dynamic layout and bold typography. The overall impression evokes the spirit of vintage pop and French chanson productions, with a psychedelic touch suggested by the sun and the lizard.

This type of 45 rpm record, also known as a vinyl single, was the standard format for releasing hit songs in the 1970s and 1980s. The flexible cardboard cover, typical of this era, protects the record and offers a large illustration surface.
