Description

This 45 rpm vinyl record features its original cover, illustrated with a stylized graphic design of yellow and black lines on a white and blue background. The main inscription, in blue, reads "JACK BRELAN et son orchestre." It is a recording released by the Ocean label, whose logo is visible at the bottom right. The cover mentions several titles: "Colonel Bogey" (from the film "The Bridge on the River Kwai"), "Mandoline Amoureuse" (from the film "A King in New York"), "Un Jour l'Amour" (from the film "Monte-Carlo Story"), and "Scusami."

The cover design evokes a graphic style typical of the 1950s to 1960s, with a geometric composition and a choice of contrasting colors. The texts are printed in blue and black on the two main areas, separated by a horizontal band. The serial number "45.014" and the mention "45 tours durée prolongée - série standard" are clearly visible, confirming the record's format.

The cover surface shows visible signs of wear: scratches, marks, and lightly rubbed areas, particularly on the lower blue section and the edges. No other elements regarding the record itself are observable, as only the front of the cover is visible in the photo.

The lettering is clear and legible, with sober typography and neat alignments, characteristic of French editions of this period. The presence of the Ocean label and the reference 45.014 facilitates identification for those searching for vintage French vinyl records.

This 45 rpm record is referenced under the name of Jack Brelan, an orchestra that covered several famous film scores, making it a typical piece for lovers of old vinyl records looking for thematic editions or instrumental adaptations.

Did you know? The 45 rpm format was launched in the late 1940s to offer a compact and practical alternative to 78 rpm records. In France, many independent labels offered "extended play" series, allowing more titles to be included on a single record, an appreciated innovation in the 1950s-1960s.
