AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This Discazur 45 RPM vinyl record comes in its original sleeve, recognizable by its typical graphics featuring the blue Discazur logo with seaside elements (sailboat, palm trees, sun) and the slogan "Chassez bien… et chassez mieux… avec…" (Hunt well… and hunt better… with…). The front, visible in the photo, also displays a yellow insert listing the various bird calls and animal cries recorded, intended for hunting or ornithological observation.

The illustrated paper sleeve features blue and red printing for the logo and slogan, as well as a yellow band at the bottom with the publisher's contact information in Toulon (Var): "Enregistrements sonores: Rue César-Vezzani, Toulon (Var)". On the right, a yellow cartouche details the list of specimens present on the record, such as "Ramage de la grive mêlée (coq)" (Song of the mixed thrush (male)), "Sambi de la grive" (Song of the thrush), "Cri du geai" (Call of the jay), "Pinson" (Finch), "Alouette" (Lark), "Merle ramageur" (Singing blackbird), "Étourneau" (Starling), "Canard col vert" (Mallard duck), "Cri de la pie" (Call of the magpie), and "Corneille choucas" (Jackdaw crow).

The ensemble, typical of French productions from the 60s to 70s dedicated to bird songs for hunting, presents a retro aesthetic with handwritten characters and a vintage graphic style. The record inside is not visible in the photo; only the sleeve is shown, with slight traces of wear, marks, creases, and some stains, testifying to its age and previous use.

The sleeve also mentions the address "La Flémardière, La Cadière-d’Azur (Var)", reinforcing the product's regional roots. The presence of the old-format telephone number and the printing style confirm a production prior to the 1980s.

The visual highlights the vintage aspect and rarity of this sound medium, which is uncommon on the current market, especially in this condition and with a complete and legible sleeve. No details on the back or the record itself are visible in the photo.
