Old vinyl record presented here with its original sleeve, illustrated by a color photographic portrait of the singer Maria Callas against a green background. On the visible side, the title "CALLAS A PARIS" is clearly distinguishable, accompanied by the mention "Airs d’Opéras Français chantés en français" (French Opera Arias sung in French). The Orchestre National de la RTF, under the direction of Georges Prêtre, is also specified on the jacket, as are the Columbia label and the reference FCK 902, typical of period pressings.

The sleeve features a simple and elegant design characteristic of French record productions from the 1960s, with white typography on a green background and a studio photograph with a satin finish. The Columbia logo and the reference FCK 902 are clearly legible in the lower left corner, confirming the original edition of the record.

The ensemble visible in the photo suggests a 33 RPM vinyl, a classic format for this type of recording, even if the exact format is not mentioned in the keywords. The overall condition of the sleeve shows a slight reflection of light on the surface, indicating a glossy finish typical of the era, with no apparent chips or tears on the front face. No major defects are visible on the exposed part.
