Description

This 45 rpm vinyl record stands out for its vintage-looking cover, resolutely retro, typical of the 1960s. On the front, there is a color photograph of a blonde woman with an intense gaze, wearing a fur-collared coat, which occupies most of the cover. The word "ACTUALITÉ" (NEWS) appears in pink capital letters, printed vertically on the left side of the cover, while the mention "ROCK" in pink on a black background clearly indicates the musical style of the record.

The top part of the cover displays a band alternating the words "Chant - Danse" (Singing - Dancing) in pink and black, reinforcing the record's positioning in the world of rock and dance music. The visible titles are listed in white on a black background: "LE BOOGIE DU BÉBÉ", "ELLE A DES YEUX D’ANGE (Poetry in motion)", "LES BARBOUSES (F.B.I.)" and "CROQUE, CROQUE LA POMME". These titles reflect the rock/variety repertoire popular at the time.

The graphic design combines a dynamic layout, contrasting colors (black, white, pink) and a studio photograph typical of the French pop-rock style of the 60s. The top edge of the record, visible in the photo, shows slight signs of wear and handling, indicating prior use.

The cover has a glossy appearance with some reflections on the surface, and a slight curve can be observed on the upper right corner. No record label logo or specific reference is visible on this side. The record inside is not visible in the provided image.
