Description

45 RPM vinyl record visible in the photo, illustrated by a glossy paper sleeve featuring a color photographic portrait of singer Rika Zaraï. The visual highlights the artist's face, with short hair, adorned with discreet jewelry (earrings and necklace), against a softly colored background. The name "RIKA ZARAÏ" appears in pink capital letters in the upper left, followed by the title "ALLELUIA" on the right, also in capitals but a brighter pink. At the bottom right of the sleeve, the text "QUAND LA MUSIQUE EST FINIE" is printed in deep pink. The Philips label logo is visible in the upper right corner, attesting to the original edition by this record company, a reference in French chanson from the 1960s-70s.

The sleeve shows a clean print, with graphics typical of the late 60s or early 70s, recognizable by the colorful typography and quality studio photography. No major defects are visible on the front: the image shows no tears or significant creases. The top edge appears slightly wavy, without affecting the main visual. The colors remain well preserved, without noticeable fading.

This 45 RPM single, intended to be played on a turntable, features two of Rika Zaraï's flagship titles: "Alleluia" and "Quand la musique est finie," distinctly mentioned on the sleeve. The condition of the sleeve, according to the image, appears generally clean, with a nice presentation for an object from that era.

The visible part shows no handwritten annotations, stickers, or major defects. The record itself is not visible in the photo; only the front cover is shown.

This vinyl record is part of the tradition of French chanson singles, published by Philips, and reflects the popular style of the vintage years, both in its aesthetics and the notoriety of its performer.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. The photo shows a front cover in good visual condition, with no apparent major defects. Since the record is not visible, the condition of the vinyl cannot be specified here.
