Claude François 45 RPM Vinyl Philips Old Retro French Variety Sleeve

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This 45 rpm vinyl record features a colorful illustrated cover on the visible side, showcasing a photographic portrait of Claude François accompanied by a young dog, both in close-up. The visual is typical of 1960s French variety productions, with a warm photographic style and distinctive retro typography. The cover displays the Philips logo in the top left, as well as the mention "MEDIUM 434.863 BE" in the top right, indicating the record's reference number.

The artist's name, "claude françois", is printed in large red letters on a black background, occupying the upper part of the cover. Below this title, four song titles are listed in yellow and white letters: "PETITE MÈCHE DE CHEVEUX", "CHAQUE JOUR C?EST LA MÊME CHOSE", "MAMAN CHÉRIE" and "LAISSE MOI TENIR TA MAIN". The Philips logo is also visible in the bottom right, printed in red.

The cardboard cover features a clear and colorful print, typical of vinyl records from this period. No major flaws are visible on the front: the image is well-centered, the colors remain vibrant, and the corners appear relatively clean, although the top left edge shows very slight signs of wear. The background of the photo highlights a blurred bookcase or shelf decor, enhancing the overall retro and warm atmosphere.

The overall visual, graphic style, and typographical elements confirm an authentic 1960s French variety production, particularly sought after for its vintage aesthetic and Claude François's renown.

Condition
