Description

This 45 rpm vinyl record features the iconic cover of the single "Y.M.C.A" by the group Village People, released under the Barclay label. The visible side shows a colorful photographic visual, typical of the late 1970s, with the band members posing in characteristic costumes in front of a desert landscape, around a motorcycle and a construction vehicle. The group's name "VILLAGE PEOPLE" and the title "Y.M.C.A" are inscribed in large white letters on a blue background, with the Barclay label mentioned at the bottom left. A handwritten inscription "RM" in red appears under the title, visible on the original cover.

The sleeve boasts an instantly recognizable retro graphic style, with a colorful photograph and massive typography, true to the disco aesthetic of the 70s. The setting, the characters' attitudes, and the costumes (policeman, Indian, cowboy, etc.) embody the band's visual identity at that time. The cover shows signs of wear at the corners and edges, as well as a slight patina due to age and handling, adding authentic charm to this vintage item.

The Barclay logo, visible at the bottom left, testifies to the production of this record by the famous French record company. The reference number "129 093" is printed vertically on the right side of the cover, confirming the original edition. The photographed medium is the front of the cover; no information about the condition of the back or the record itself is visible in this image.

This 45 rpm is an emblematic medium of disco music culture, appreciated for its iconic visual as well as its musical content. The overall appearance of the cover, the presence of the band in costumes, and the staging reinforce its decorative and nostalgic character, ideal for display in a showcase, on a shelf, or in a retro music space.

Second-hand item sold as is, with visible signs of wear on the cover: slightly dog-eared corners, scuff marks, handwritten inscription "RM" on the front. The front of the sleeve shows a homogeneous patina, with no major apparent tears in the photographed area.
