AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

45 rpm vinyl record presented with its original sleeve, featuring Richard Anthony, an emblematic figure of French chanson. The visible side of the sleeve features a color portrait of the artist against a neutral background, wearing a red sweater, in a photographic style typical of the 1960s. The graphic design displays the name "Richard Anthony" in red and black capital letters, accompanied by the titles "Ce monde," "A toi de choisir," "Oui, va plus loin," and "Les garçons pleurent" at the top of the sleeve. The Columbia label is also visible at the bottom right, along with the reference ESRF 1539 at the top right. The mention "Photo Bertrand" appears at the bottom left.

The sleeve shows visible signs of wear on the right edge and in the corners, with scuff marks, small creases, and slight paper discoloration on the edges. Nevertheless, the sleeve remains legible and presents an appearance faithful to its original aesthetic. The image illustrates a compact format, characteristic of 45 rpm records of this period, well-suited for vertical presentation or display in a showcase.

The visual style, printing, and typography confirm the vintage origin and authenticity of this record, likely produced in the 60s, consistent with Richard Anthony's career and Columbia's graphic charter of that era. No accessories or back side are visible in the photo, only the front is shown.

Condition

Used item sold as is. The sleeve shows traces of wear from use, notably blunted corners, creases, and some visible marks on the edges. The image remains clear and the texts perfectly legible.

Did you know? Richard Anthony was one of the first French singers to adapt many Anglo-Saxon hits in the 1960s, thus contributing to popularizing the 45 rpm format in France. The Columbia label, whose logo appears on this sleeve, was a major reference in the record industry at that time.
