Description

This 45 rpm vinyl features Cat Stevens' single "Lady d'Arbanville," with "I wish, I wish" on the B-side. The cover visible in the photo showcases a black and white portrait of the artist, with colored inscriptions: the name "CAT STEVENS" in red at the top, the main title "lady d'arbanville" in yellow, and the B-side title "I wish, I wish" also in yellow towards the bottom. The mention "série Parade" can be seen in the bottom left, confirming its belonging to this thematic series released in France during the 1970s.

The cover features a graphic style typical of the early 70s, with an artistic blur effect on the portrait and a sober yet expressive layout, characteristic of pop-rock productions of the era. The record is not visible in the photo; only the front cover is shown, placed on a wooden piece of furniture, in an old library setting that highlights the vintage aspect of the item.

The dominant colors of the cover are black, white, and touches of yellow and red for the text. The overall appearance shows visible signs of wear on the corners and the bottom edge, indicating previous use, consistent with a vintage item. The inscriptions are clearly legible, and the typography is faithful to the pop/folk aesthetic of the 70s.

The Island Records logo, recognizable at the bottom right, confirms the original edition associated with Cat Stevens. The cover artwork is emblematic of 45 rpm vinyl records distributed in France, with a thin paper print typical of this period. No other details are visible regarding the interior or the record itself.
