Vinyl record 45 rpm Mahalia Jackson Disques Vogue Silent Night vintage gospel

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This 45 rpm vinyl record features a large, close-up color photograph of Mahalia Jackson, an iconic gospel figure, with a wide smile on its cover. At the top, in yellow capital letters, the jacket displays the artist's name: "MAHALIA JACKSON." Below, the main titles "silent night holy night" appear in red, followed by other song titles in white: "JUST AS I AM," "I'M GLAD SALVATION IS FREE," and "GOD SPOKE TO ME."

The red and white "disques vogue" logo is clearly visible at the bottom left of the sleeve, accompanied by the reference "INT 18021." The background of the sleeve is dark, against which Mahalia Jackson's luminous face stands out sharply. Several signs of wear, creases, and marks are visible on the front of the sleeve, particularly on the edges and near the center, indicating its age.

The typography, graphic style, and overall presentation are typical of European record productions from the 1960s, a period during which Mahalia Jackson achieved widespread international success. The sleeve only shows one side, with no indication of the condition of the back or the record itself.

This 45 rpm vinyl record is intended for playback on a turntable adapted to this format. The reference to the Disques Vogue label, known for its jazz and gospel releases in France, enhances the appeal of this vintage pressing. The 45 rpm format, very popular for singles and EPs at the time, is suitable for quick listening and the broadcast of hit songs.

Did you know? Mahalia Jackson, dubbed the "Queen of Gospel," was one of the first African-American artists to gain international recognition. The Disques Vogue label, founded in Paris in 1947, played a major role in the dissemination of jazz and gospel in France, releasing numerous European pressings of American artists from the 1950s onwards.
