Vinyl record 45 rpm Philippe Clay Polydor vintage picture sleeve French song

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This 45 rpm vinyl record honors Philippe Clay, an emblematic figure of French chanson. The sleeve features a black and white portrait of the artist, in profile, smoking a cigar, with a photographic texture effect typical of the 60s-70s. The name "Philippe Clay" appears in red letters, while the titles "Dis ma femme" and "Mes universités" are printed in black, in capitals, on the right side of the sleeve. The Polydor logo is at the bottom right, guaranteeing an original edition from this renowned label.

The sleeve is square, typical of 45 rpm records, with slightly rounded corners and a top edge showing slight signs of wear. A reference number "2056 076" is visible at the top right. The whole presents a marked contrast between the expressive photograph and the text printing, which gives this record a distinct retro style.

The photograph of Philippe Clay, with his recognizable beard and turtleneck, perfectly evokes the aesthetic of French musical productions from the mid-20th century. The black and white jacket is enhanced by the colored typography of the artist's name, which immediately catches the eye. No other visuals, patterns or illustrations appear on the visible side.

The photographed item is placed on a flat surface, with a bookcase in the background, which highlights the "collectible" nature of the object without influencing the description of the record itself. No details of the back, inside or vinyl are visible in the image.

The inscriptions are perfectly legible on the front: "Philippe Clay", "Dis ma femme", "Mes universités", "Polydor", as well as the reference "2056 076". No stickers or price marks are visible, but a slightly lighter rectangular trace appears at the top right, probably related to an old label.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. The sleeve shows visible signs of wear, particularly on the top edge and the right corner.
