Eddy Mitchell Barclay vintage 60s retro sleeve 45 rpm vinyl record

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This 45 rpm vinyl record honors Eddy Mitchell, a key figure in French music, released under the Barclay label. The visible cover features a typical 1960s design, with the yellow banner "TOUTE LA VILLE EN PARLE" (The Whole Town is Talking About It) at the top and the title "EDDY MITCHELL EST FORMIDABLE" (Eddy Mitchell is Terrific) in clear white and red lettering. Five tracks are mentioned: "TOUJOURS UN COIN QUI ME RAPPELLE" (Always a Place That Reminds Me), "JE DEFENDRAI" (I Will Defend), "MON AMOUR" (My Love), "FAUCHE" (Mowed Down), "J'AI TOUT PERDU" (I've Lost Everything).

On the visible side, the cover displays a color photograph of Eddy Mitchell elegantly seated on an ornate-backed armchair, in a dark suit and tie, accompanied by a large white dog statue beside him. The background consists of a sophisticated interior setting, enhanced by the presence of carpets and period furniture, giving the entire visual a strong retro style.

The easily recognizable Barclay logo in the bottom right corner attests to the original pressing of this record. The overall cover displays a vintage aesthetic with sepia colors and warm tones, typical of French musical productions from the early 1960s. The general impression is neat despite some visible signs of wear on the edges and surface of the cover (creases, superficial marks).

The vinyl is not visible in the photo; only the front of the cover is presented. All inscriptions are clear and legible, which facilitates the identification of the record, the artist, and the main titles. The presentation suggests a musical collectible, but no information is provided on the condition of the record itself.
