Description

This 45 rpm vinyl record presents an Extended Play (EP) by Henri Salvador titled "Henri Salvador chante pour les enfants" (Henri Salvador sings for children), released by Philips under reference 432.167 BE. The cover features a bright yellow dominance, typical of graphic productions from the 50s-60s, with a black and white photograph of the artist in costume, squatting, holding a bucket and a beach spade, evoking the world of childhood.

The cover design highlights the artist's name "Henri Salvador" in stylized lettering, topped with a handwritten mention "chante pour les enfants." On the right side, the tracklist is visible: "ma doudou," "le petit indien," "le loup, la biche et le chevalier," and "le marchand de sable." The ensemble is completed by the Philips Minigroove 45 logo and the "EP" mention, confirming the record format.

The visible side shows light wear on the edges and some signs of age on the cover, with slightly marked corners, attesting to its vintage authenticity. The back is not visible in the photo; only the front side is described here.

The inscriptions "Microsillon Medium Haute Fidélité" (Medium High Fidelity Microgroove) and "Fabriqué en France" (Made in France) also appear on the cover, confirming a vintage French production. The graphic style, childlike imagery, and typography are characteristic of the retro design of children's records from the 50s-60s.

The Philips logo, the "Minigroove" mention, as well as reference 432.167 BE, confirm an original edition from that era. The record is presented in its original cardboard sleeve, with an attractive visual and quality printing typical of Philips pressings from the mid-20th century.

Salvador's photograph, taken outdoors, reinforces the playful and family-friendly nature of this record, designed for a young audience and their parents. The visual and typographic ensemble makes this vinyl a representative item of post-war French children's songs.
