Description

45 rpm vinyl record presented with its original illustrated sleeve, identifiable as Axel Bauer's "Cargo" single. The sleeve, visible in the photo, displays typical 1980s graphics, with a dark blue background, a stylized photograph of the singer in a sailor's outfit, and colorful lettering characteristic of the era (Axel Bauer's name in neon green, "Cargo" title in pink). The "Mondio Music" label logo is clearly legible in the bottom left, as is a round emblem in the bottom right. The visible side of the sleeve shows signs of wear, creases, and wrinkles, indicating frequent use and handling over several decades.

The front of the sleeve shows vibrant colors despite the wear, with shades of blue, black, and pink. The image features Axel Bauer in an iconic pose, arms crossed, a tattoo visible on his left arm, and a setting evoking docks or industrial warehouses, consistent with the title "Cargo". The graphic style and choice of colors emphasize the New Wave and French pop-rock aesthetic of the early 80s.

The presence of the "Mondio Music" logo and visual inscriptions authenticates this vintage pressing. No other details are visible regarding the back cover or the disc label itself, as the photo focuses on the front of the sleeve. There is also a round illustrated sticker affixed to the bottom right, likely specific to this edition.

This 45 rpm vinyl record falls into the category of vintage single records, very representative of French music production in the 1980s. The overall appearance of the sleeve, with its traces of wear, folds, and marked corners, attests to an original copy that has stood the test of time, perfect for those looking for an authentic piece from this musical period.
