AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This 45 rpm vinyl record features the artist Alain Barrière on its cover, photographed in a close-up, wearing a brown jacket and a white shirt with a black tie, against a dark background. The cover displays the main title "elle était si jolie" in large red letters at the top, followed by the mention: selected by the R.T.F. for the Grand Prix Eurovision de la chanson 1963. Directly below are the secondary titles: "le temps d'une valse", "plus je t'entends", "la route". The name "ALAIN BARRIÈRE" is printed in red capitals on the upper half of the cover.

In the upper right section, the RCA Victor logo and the reference "86.618 M" are clearly visible, positioned next to the RCA logo. The graphic design and typography, as well as the mention Eurovision 1963, clearly place this record in the early 1960s, corresponding to the period of activity and visual style of the era.

The visible side shows a square cardboard sleeve, typical of 45 rpm singles. The surface of the sleeve shows some visible signs of wear: slightly blunted corners, handling marks, small creases, and edge traces. The color print remains sharp, with well-defined contrasts between the red text and the light background of the upper part.

The visual highlights the artist and the flagship title, consistent with the presentation practices of French singles from the 60s. No stickers, handwritten annotations, or major defects are visible on the presented side.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. The sleeve shows signs of wear consistent with its age: worn corners, rubbing marks, small surface marks. The visual remains legible and attractive.
