Description

45 rpm vinyl single, with a color photograph of Alain Barrière sitting outdoors on the cover, wearing a multicolored plaid jacket over a dark turtleneck. The visible side shows the original cover, with the title "ÉCOUTE BIEN..C'EST UN TANGO" in yellow letters at the top, followed by the name "alain BARRIERE" in white on the left. At the bottom, the second title "IL FAUT DANSER MARIE" also appears in yellow. The "disques trema" label logo is present at the bottom left, while the mention "ALBATROS Distribution DISCODIS" appears at the bottom right. The year 1974 is indicated next to the copyright at the top left. The whole offers a visual typical of French productions from the early 70s, both in terms of graphics and the artist's photography.

The visible front of the cover has a slightly matte surface, with some handling marks and signs of aging visible on the edges and corners, typical of a record that has been around for several decades. The main colors are the green of the natural background, the brown and beige tones of the surrounding wood, and the bright hues of the jacket worn by the artist. No major chips or tears are apparent on this side, but classic signs of wear are visible on the corners. The graphic design highlights simple and legible typography, characteristic of vintage French song covers.

The vinyl record itself is not visible in the photo; only the front cover is displayed. The logos, mentions, and titles are clear and legible. The reference "10116" appears at the top right. The distribution details "ALBATROS" and "DISCODIS" are printed at the bottom right, which allows identification of the distribution channel for this pressing. The general style, color palette, and layout explicitly evoke the first half of the 1970s, a period when Alain Barrière enjoyed great success.

This 45 rpm single includes two titles: "Écoute bien... c'est un tango" on side A and "Il faut danser Marie" on side B, following the usual presentation of singles from that era. The cover emphasizes the artist and the titles, without secondary illustrations or superfluous graphic elements, in accordance with the standards of the retro French song genre. The whole constitutes a typical popular music object, both decorative and representative of the French music scene of the 70s.
