AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This 45 rpm vinyl record honors the singer Armand Mestral, an emblematic figure of French chanson. The cover features a color photographic portrait of the artist, dressed in a dark jacket, light shirt, and patterned tie, against a blue-gray gradient background. At the top of the sleeve, the name "ARMAND MESTRAL" appears in large, clear red letters, while the "Pergola" label is printed in the bottom right. The song titles are also mentioned on the front: "Plaine, ma plaine", "Seize tonnes", "Si tous les gars du monde" and "Les chercheurs d'or", some in black, others in red for a differentiated visual effect.

The cover displays an aesthetic typical of the 1960s, with a simple and elegant graphic composition centered on the artist's portrait. The vinyl, although not visible in the image, is traditionally inserted inside this cardboard sleeve. No major defects are observable on the front, apart from some slight traces of wear on the edges, common for a record from this period.

The design combines a red border on the left, accentuating the retro feel of the whole. The print and texture of the cover appear to be vintage, with a slightly satin finish. The inscriptions are clear enough to be read without difficulty. No handwritten annotations or stickers are visible on the displayed side.

The typography used for the titles and the artist's name is characteristic of French vinyl pressings from the 50s-60s, contributing to the authenticity of the object. The back of the cover and the condition of the record are not visible in this photo.

This record is for anyone looking for a vintage French chanson 45 rpm, particularly for the presence of Armand Mestral and the Pergola label, known for its productions in the 60s.
