Description

Vintage 45 rpm vinyl record, illustrated with a cardboard sleeve featuring wide red and white vertical stripes. On the visible side, a color photographic portrait of Claude François, in a dark suit and bow tie, occupies the central part. The artist poses with crossed arms in front of a graphic background, typical of 1960s pop design. The title "Claude François" appears in black and orange letters in the upper right, accompanied by the list of tracks on this record: "C'est moi... C'est moi...", "Je tiens un tigre par la queue", "Les petites choses", "Mais combien de temps".

The Philips logo is clearly visible in the upper left, next to the reference "437.189 BE". This edition shows clear printing, with a glossy finish on the sleeve's surface. The typography and graphic style are characteristic of French musical productions from the mid-20th century, reinforcing the object's retro authenticity.

The cover features slightly rounded corners and a glossy finish, highlighting the vintage character of this record. The side inscriptions indicate "Claude François 45 t 437 189 BE Philips". The visual emphasizes the artist's personality, a common presentation for singles of that era.

This 45 rpm record is a classic format for 60s-70s singles, appreciated for its practicality and the specific sound quality of vinyl. The well-preserved sleeve shows slight surface wear, including reflections and some discreet marks, without altering the legibility of the texts or the visual impact of the portrait.
