AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Detailed description

This old 45 rpm vinyl record features a textured cardboard sleeve, light grey in colour with a finely cross-hatched pattern. On the upper part of the visible side, an orange and white label displays the main information: "Falla: 'Danse du feu' / Khatchaturian: 'Danse du sabre' / Gyorgy Cziffra". The visible reference "ERF 17083" is indicated in the upper right corner of the label. The label's logo (hard to read but present) appears below the titles, in the centre of the label. At the bottom right of the sleeve, the inscription "PLAISIR MUSICAL PATHE MARCONI" is clearly visible, positioned vertically and printed in fine capital letters.

The sleeve has a matte finish, with a slight textural effect reminiscent of fabric or linen, typical of classic French editions from the mid-20th century. The overall impression is one of elegant sobriety, characteristic of classical music records intended for a discerning audience. No additional decoration, photos or graphics are visible on this side, which highlights the minimalist and institutional aspect of the object.

The overall condition of the sleeve shows some discreet signs of wear, particularly slight marks or dirt on the lower area, but no visible chips or tears on the displayed side. The corners appear slightly blunted, without major damage. The inscriptions and colours remain clearly legible, with no apparent discolouration.

The record itself is not visible in the image; only the front cover is shown. No accessories, leaflets or additional elements are visible in the provided photo.

The general presentation, graphics and typographical choices suggest an edition from the 60s or 70s, consistent with the "vintage" mention used in the keywords and the style of the Pathé Marconi label.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. The visible side of the sleeve shows slight signs of wear compatible with its age, with no apparent major structural defects.

Did you know? Pianist Gyorgy Cziffra is renowned for his virtuoso interpretations of the romantic and classical repertoire. Pathé Marconi editions, very active in the dissemination of classical music in France in the 20th century, produced numerous recordings by European soloists and orchestras, often in limited pressings for informed music lovers.
