Description

This 45 rpm vinyl record features a recording by the comedian Fernand Raynaud, an emblematic figure of French comedy in the 1960s. The sleeve visible in the photo sports a typical design from that era, with the name "Fernand RAYNAUD" inscribed in stylized yellow letters, accompanied by the Philips logo in the upper right, as well as the mention "Medium 432.037 BE". The central visual depicts Fernand Raynaud in an outdoor scene, dressed in a grey coat and blue hat, conversing with another character, in a setting that evokes the popular world of his sketches.

The visible front of the sleeve is adorned with the word "RIRE" (LAUGH) in large aqua letters, reinforcing the humorous identity of the content. On the right side are the titles of the recorded sketches: "C’est étudié pour !...", "Le Tweed", "Le Taxiphone", and "Balendar à la guerre". The overall graphic design, with its bold colors and retro fonts, testifies to the visual style of French musical productions from the early 1960s.

The record is released by Philips, a record company renowned for the quality of its pressings during this period. The mention "fabriqué en France" (made in France) is clearly legible below the logo, and the reference "432.037 BE" appears in the upper right. The number "3" on a green background indicates that it is likely the third volume in a series dedicated to Fernand Raynaud.

The cardboard sleeve shows some typical signs of use for a vintage vinyl, with slight marks visible on the surface and at the corners, without any apparent tears on the photographed side. The colors remain well contrasted, and the photographic print retains its sharpness. No details of the reverse side of the record are visible in the image.

This "RIRE" 45 rpm record illustrates a part of record history in France, where humor vinyls held a special place in homes, and where Fernand Raynaud was an essential artist of popular comedy. All visual elements, from the clothing style to the layout, reinforce the vintage authenticity of this Philips edition.
