Description

This 45 rpm vinyl record features an illustrated sleeve typical of 1950s-1960s graphic design, with stylized yellow, white, and red horsemen motifs on a blue background. The visible side shows "VON SUPPÉ" at the top, followed by the titles "CAVALERIE LÉGÈRE ouverture" (Light Cavalry Overture) and "LA BELLE GALATHÉE ouverture" (The Beautiful Galatea Overture). The record is performed by the Boston "Pops" Orchestra under the direction of Arthur Fiedler, as clearly indicated in white letters.

The RCA logo is at the top right of the sleeve, attesting to its release by this renowned label. At the bottom left, a golden label reads "Phono Radio Ciné Raphael Marseille". The bottom right corner bears the reference "85.237 (ERA 3) MÉDIUM", characteristic of French pressings from this period. The overall presentation evokes a retro style, ideal for lovers of classical music and vintage vinyl records.

The sleeve, in the classic square 45 rpm format, features vibrant colors and dynamic graphics, with stylized horses and riders reminiscent of the world of operetta and light music. The typography used is simple and elegant, in keeping with the graphic style of the era.

The visible side shows no major tears, although there is slight creasing and moderate wear on the edges, indicating a used item that has passed through several decades. The inscriptions remain perfectly legible, and the illustration retains its original vibrancy.
