AFW - Antique France Worldwide
Description
This 45 rpm vinyl record features a cardboard sleeve illustrated with a photographic portrait of Fernand Raynaud in a sailor suit, against a black and blue background. The sleeve prominently displays the word "RIRE" (LAUGHTER) at the bottom, with the artist's name "Fernand Raynaud" at the top, written in bright yellow. The Philips logo appears in the upper right corner, accompanied by the mention "Medium 432.422" and the number "7" on a blue background. Several titles are visible on the front, including "Les gens sont méchants" (People are mean), "En vacances avec ma sœur" (On holiday with my sister), "Monsieur Laborde est très gentil" (Mr. Laborde is very nice), and "Le tailleur" (The tailor); it is therefore a humorous vinyl record by Fernand Raynaud, an iconic comedian of the French scene.
The sleeve features a period color photo print, typical of Philips productions from the 1960s. The title "RIRE" is highlighted in large light blue typography, characteristic of humorous sleeves from this period. The overall aesthetic is retro, faithful to the graphic codes of the 60s, with a dynamic layout and a contrasting color palette.
The visible side of the sleeve shows slight traces of wear on the edges and corners, but the illustration remains clear and legible. No major defects are visible on the photographed part, apart from slight reflections and some superficial marks typical of an old record. The inscription "Photo Aubert" appears vertically on the left edge of the sleeve.
This 45 rpm record, published by Philips, is a standard format for variety and humor singles and sketches of this era. The thick jacket and matte print highlight the vintage character of the object, ideal for lovers of retro records and French musical design.
The item presented is a period copy, untested, with its original illustrated sleeve. Only the front of the sleeve is visible in the photo; no information is provided on the condition of the vinyl or the back.
