The cover, clearly visible in the photo, displays typical 1980s graphics with a dominance of white, large red and yellow lettering, and a color photograph of the artist sitting on a red chair. The main inscriptions are clear: \"LOVING SHADOWS\" at the top, followed by \"SANTA MONICA\" in yellow, and the name \"ALLAIN\" in very large print on both sides, emphasizing the artist's visual identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe front of the cover also shows several technical details including the reference 44001 SP 021 in the upper right corner, the mentions \"DISC'AIR\" and \"distribution Disques Ibach\" at the bottom left and right, as well as photo credit to Olivier Privas. The postal address to write to Allain is at the bottom left, confirming the French production of the record. The cover's texture appears matte with visible signs of wear, including slight marks, creases, and dirt, indicating prolonged storage and old handling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe central photograph highlights the artist in a relaxed pose, wearing dark trousers and a light jacket, emphasizing the musical aesthetic of the period. No other elements are visible on this side, and the record itself is not apparent in the image.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe graphic style, typography, and overall design evoke French pop single productions from the late 1970s to the 1980s. The whole offers a strong visual identity, sought after by collectors of vintage vinyl records, old singles, and retro musical items.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsed item, sold as is.

In France, many pop and variety artists used this medium to promote their hit songs until the late 1980s, when the CD gradually took over.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAFW Reassurance\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYour order will be shipped quickly with careful packaging, by a professional seller specializing in antique and vintage items.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eKeywords: 45 rpm vinyl, vintage single, old record, worn sleeve, French pop record, Allain Loving Shadows, Santa Monica record, retro vinyl record, 7 inch record, 45 rpm, 80s record, pop music vinyl\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AFW","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54323077873991,"sku":"118fe48e-6668-45f8-a89d-965f624a24b4-PA0.21","price":2.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0989\/5152\/8775\/files\/s-l1600_5fb696c2-9d93-4918-81ea-9c05e7b5c0bb.jpg?v=1783705593","url":"https:\/\/shop.antiquefranceworldwide.com\/en\/products\/disque-vinyle-45t-allain-loving-shadows-santa-monica-vintage-pochette-usagee","provider":"AFW","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
