Vinyl record Le Déserteur Mouloudji black sleeve vintage 45 rpm

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

The vintage vinyl record shown in the photo is a 45 RPM single, identifiable by its rigid, predominantly black cardboard sleeve. On the visible side, there is a black and white photographic portrait of Mouloudji, with the inscription "LE DÉSERTEUR" in white capital letters at the top, and the name "MOULOUDJI" in bright blue just below. The photograph features the artist with crossed hands and an expressive face, in an iconic pose. A signature ("Théo") is also visible at the bottom right of the image, typical of some prints from that era.

The sleeve features a simple yet contrasting graphic style, characteristic of French productions from the 1960s to 1970s, with a matte/gloss effect visible under light. The overall appearance is distinctly retro, enhanced by the thick lettering and the use of black and white, elements sought after by vintage record enthusiasts.

Condition

The item is used and sold as is. The sleeve shows some visible signs of wear on the corners (especially the bottom left corner), with no apparent tears on the front cover. The condition of the record has not been tested and is not guaranteed to be functional, as indicated by the "untested condition" note.

Did you know? The song "Le Déserteur" by Boris Vian, performed here by Mouloudji, was first recorded in 1954. This track became an emblematic pacifist anthem in France, often censored upon its release, and Mouloudji's version remains one of the most famous interpretations of 20th-century French song.
