Françoise Hardy Tamalou vintage retro 45 rpm vinyl record

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

45 rpm vinyl record presented with its original sleeve, illustrated on the visible side by a photographic portrait of Françoise Hardy. The visual is characterized by a graphic design typical of the late 1970s or early 1980s, with the artist's name in fuchsia capital letters "FRANÇOISE HARDY" and the title "tamalou" in handwritten turquoise. The sleeve displays several black and white photographic prints in the style of a contact sheet, with the mention "KODAK SAFETY FILM 5063" visible on the lower edges. A signature "Photo F. LARAGEVASCH" appears in the lower right corner.

The entire front face adopts a silvery/grey visual effect, highlighting the sober and elegant style characteristic of French record productions of that era. The artist appears dressed in a dark jacket over a light shirt, in different poses, giving the object a cinematic and authentically retro aesthetic. The typography and composition suggest an original pressing from the period, without modern graphic elements.

The main colors are black, grey, fuchsia, and turquoise. The sleeve shows visible signs of wear: scratches, handling marks, and slightly rubbed corners, typical of used vinyl records. No other elements (back cover, the record itself) are visible in the provided photo.

The 45 rpm format is mentioned in the keywords and corresponds to the typical presentation of this type of single record, intended for playback on a standard turntable. No additional details about the material are indicated, but it is visually a classic vinyl record with a cardboard sleeve.

The sleeve highlights the title "tamalou", one of the songs from Françoise Hardy's repertoire, an emblematic figure of French chanson. This sober and photographic visual is characteristic of vintage French variety productions.

Condition

Used item sold as is. Visible signs of wear on the sleeve: scratches, handling marks, blunted corners.
