Vinyl 45 RPM Bashung Gaby oh! Gaby vintage Philips retro France

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This 45 rpm vinyl record features a front cover typical of the French music scene of the early 1980s. The artwork highlights Alain Bashung, standing in a grey suit, holding a Stratocaster-type electric guitar, against a white background marked by a very expressive black handwritten typography: "GABY oh! GABY". The name BASHUNG appears in black capital letters at the top, while the Philips label logo is in the upper right corner, confirming the original pressing.

The cover also shows the secondary titles at the bottom, "ELL'S' FAIT ROUGIR" and "TOUTE SEULE", printed in pink, characteristic of original French pressings. The whole evokes the graphic pop and new wave universe of French song from the period. The artist's photo, clothing style, and guitar contribute to the retro aesthetic specific to this musical generation.

Visually, the cover displays an authentic appearance with signs of wear, such as visible marks on the surface, creases, and slightly blunted corners, indicating past use. The printing remains clearly legible in all visible areas. No other packaging elements or back cover are observable in this image.

The overall design, the sober colour palette (predominantly white, black, touches of pink), and the layout are typical of original French 45 rpm editions from the early 80s, reinforcing the vintage and retro character of the item. The square format, proportional to that of a 45 rpm record, is clearly identifiable.

This record is aimed at French music lovers wishing to rediscover an Alain Bashung classic in its authentic edition, with the instantly recognisable vintage cover. The item fits perfectly into a musical decor, a library, or a display case dedicated to French song and new wave rock.

Condition
