Joe Dassin Indian Summer 45 RPM vinyl record vintage CBS original sleeve

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This 45 rpm vinyl record features Joe Dassin's iconic song "L’Été Indien (Africa)," with "Moi j’ai dit non" on the B-side. The original sleeve, visible in the photo, showcases a photographic visual typical of the 1970s, with Joe Dassin in casual attire—denim jacket and trousers, orange shirt—seated in front of lush green vegetation. The dominant colors are purple for the borders, sky blue and yellow for the title lettering, giving the whole a very pronounced retro look.

In the upper left part of the sleeve is the CBS logo and the reference CBS 3404, characteristic elements of French editions of the time. The inscriptions "L’ÉTÉ INDIEN (Africa)" and "MOI J’AI DIT NON" are perfectly legible, in capital letters, with a blue-on-white shadow effect for the main title. The artist's name, Joe Dassin, appears at the bottom in a large stylized white font on a purple background, reinforcing the sleeve's visual identity.

The sleeve's texture shows a semi-matte appearance, typical of 70s vinyl pressings. No major chips are visible on the front, but a slight trace of white wear is observable in the lower right corner, indicating normal handling for an old record. No major structural defect is apparent on the visible side. The center of the sleeve shows no tears or marked creases.

This 45 rpm record (single) is intended for playback on a standard vinyl turntable. The cardboard sleeve with its period design reinforces the vintage character of the set. The image of Joe Dassin, recognizable by his hairstyle and clothing style, immediately evokes the French musical aesthetic of the 70s.

The inscriptions and logos are clear and legible on the front. No other accessories or inserts are visible in the photo. The back, spine, and interior of the sleeve are not visible in the provided image and therefore cannot be described.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. The sleeve shows slight surface wear (lower right corner), with no major tears or visible stains on the front. As the record is not visible in the photo, its condition cannot be specified.

Did you know? The song "L’Été Indien" is one of Joe Dassin's greatest hits, released in 1975. It was written by Toto Cutugno, Claude Lemesle, and Vito Pallavicini, and remains to this day one of the flagship titles of French song, having achieved international success and several adaptations.
