Francis Bay Philips Tequila Patricia Cha Cha Cha vintage 45 rpm vinyl

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This 45 rpm vinyl record is presented in its original sleeve, the front of which is clearly visible in the photo. It is the single "Tequila / Patricia" performed by Francis Bay and his orchestra, released by the Philips label. The sleeve features a graphic design typical of the 1950s-60s, combining a dominant bright red with a black and white photograph of a woman in stage attire, with white and black capital lettering, very characteristic of the retro aesthetic of the era. The titles "Tequila", "Patricia", "Piccadilly Jumps" and "Cha-Cha Baby" are mentioned on the sleeve, as is the diagonal indication "cha cha cha", highlighting the dance music style of the record.

The sleeve shows some visible signs of wear, including creases, a crumpled area, and some superficial marks or stains, likely due to age and handling. The Philips logo is clearly visible, guaranteeing the authenticity of the edition. The visual highlights a strong contrast between the red area and the photographic part, enhancing the vintage visual appeal of this musical item.

The record is not visible in the photo, but the cardboard sleeve hints at its typical protective function for 45 rpm records of this period. No other accessories or elements are presented.

All inscriptions are legible on the front: "TEQUILA", "PATRICIA", "PICCADILLY JUMPS", "CHA-CHA BABY", "cha cha cha", "Francis Bay et son orchestre", "PHILIPS". A discreet handwritten addition ("calderon"?) appears at the top right, without affecting overall readability.

The graphic style, color choices, and typography strongly evoke the musical aesthetic of the 50s-60s, making it a sought-after item for its retro and decorative aspect as much as for its discographic interest.
