AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This 33 rpm vinyl record features Luis Mariano's album "Album Souvenir," released by Pathé EMI, identifiable by the distinctive logo visible on the top left of the sleeve. The cover showcases a color photographic visual of Luis Mariano in a dark suit, posing with a smile, in front of a lustrous black lion sculpture and a backdrop of stylized golden rays. The album title, "ALBUM SOUVENIR," appears in white uppercase letters, accompanied by "Chansons de ses Opérettes, Chansons de ses Films, Chansons Succès, Chansons en Espagnol, Chansons de Vacances" in purple and blue on the left.

In the upper right corner, "Luis Mariano" is written in large white letters, while a yellow box announces the "GRAND PRIX INTERNATIONAL DU DISQUE Académie CHARLES CROS." The overall visual evokes the late 60s or early 70s, with typical graphics from that period and a sober yet elegant layout, true to classic French song productions of the era.

The sleeve, in the standard 33 rpm format, is made of illustrated cardboard, with dominant light gray, gold, and black colors, contrasted by colored text elements. No major defects are visible, with the exception of a wear mark on the sleeve of the suit, indicating previous use. The cover photograph is credited to Claude Poirier in the bottom right.

On this side, the record itself is not visible, only the sleeve. No information appears regarding the tracklist or the back of the sleeve, as it is not visible in the image. The item is presented against a wooded bookshelf background, which does not affect the object itself but emphasizes its vintage and heritage aspect.

Condition

Used item, sleeve sold as is. Slight signs of wear visible, notably a mark on the sleeve of the suit. The overall appearance remains good for a vintage vinyl intended for collection or listening.

Did you know? Luis Mariano, a famous tenor of Spanish origin, made his mark on French song from the 1950s to the 1970s, notably through his interpretations of operettas such as "La Belle de Cadix" and "Andalousie." The Grand Prix de l'Académie Charles Cros, mentioned on the sleeve, has been awarded annually to major recording artists since 1948.
