Description

Visible side: 45 rpm vinyl record presented in its original sleeve, illustrated with a graphic composition typical of the 1970s. The cover highlights a drawn portrait of Dick Rivers in the center, surrounded by several iconic elements of the French Riviera: a stylized American car, the coat of arms of the city of Nice, palm trees, a road scene, as well as a representation of the Promenade des Anglais with hotels and the word "CASI" for casino. The dominant colors are beige, blue, red, and orange, with a slightly patinated effect visible on the cardboard surface. In the upper right corner, the reference "PB 61320" appears in small characters.

The title "NICE BAIE DES ANGES" is displayed in large brown capital letters, accompanied just below by the artist's name "DICK RIVERS" in a blue cartouche. The RCA logo (record label) appears in the bottom right, confirming the original edition under this recognized label. There are some signs of wear and handling marks on the sleeve, consistent with a vintage record.

The artwork of the sleeve evokes a retro-pop universe, with an aesthetic inspired by rock'n'roll culture and the Riviera. Decorative elements such as the red Cadillac, palm trees, and the road along the sea enhance the vintage and seaside atmosphere. No other text or mention of a secondary title is visible on this side.

The record itself is not visible in the photo; only the illustrated cardboard sleeve is shown. No details about the condition of the vinyl or the central label are available from the provided image.

Condition
