AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This 45 rpm vinyl record features the song "C'est un jour à Naples" performed by Dalida. It is a French pressing on the Barclay label, visible in the center of the record on a yellow and white label bearing the distinctive handwritten "Barclay" logo. The inscription "N° 50209" appears in red, accompanied by the mention "BIEM". The original paper sleeve, illustrated with stylized drawings of musical instruments (double bass, trumpet, harp, saxophone, drums, accordion, etc.), bears the vertical "Columbia Pathé Marconi" logo on the left side and top right. The whole presents an aesthetic typical of the mid-20th century, with turquoise solid colors and retro jazz motifs on an off-white background.

On the record label, the main title "C’est un jour à Naples" is clearly legible, followed by the artist's name Dalida in red. The credits mention "C. Donida et V. Simi – Adapt. C. Gordanne" as well as the accompaniment by Raymond Lefèvre and his orchestra. The ensemble evokes a graphic and typographic style from the 50s/60s, reinforced by the presentation of the sleeve and the design of the central label.

The visible sleeve shows a worn appearance, with slight handling marks and small surface imperfections, characteristic of an old vinyl record. The edges of the sleeve show some folds and creases, while the colors of the illustrations remain vibrant and attractive. The record, inserted in its sleeve, reveals its edge and label, but the visible side of the vinyl is not exposed in the photo.

The whole forms an object representative of French vinyl editions from the second half of the 20th century, both in its graphic style and its choice of artist. The object is presented on a patinated wooden surface, outdoors, highlighting the contrast between the illustrated sleeve and the natural background.

This 45 rpm is sought after for its iconic performer, Dalida, and for the quality of its period presentation, typical of Barclay and Columbia production from those years. Here we find all the visual elements expected of a vintage single: colorful central label, legal mentions, and illustrated sleeve with a musical theme.
