Vinyl 45 rpm François Deguelt Charming Showman Columbia vintage

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This 45-rpm vinyl record features the original sleeve of François Deguelt's record, titled "Saltimbanque du charme". The visible side of the sleeve displays a black and white photographic portrait of the artist, against a two-tone graphic background of turquoise blue and orange. The song titles are listed on the right: "Saltimbanque du charme", "Têtes de mort", "Le Puparu", "Moisson", and "La dernière fois". The Columbia mention, a well-known publisher, appears at the bottom right in a blue box with a stylized musical note.

The sleeve shows typical signs of wear for an old record: dulled corners, crease marks, superficial scratches, and wear on the edges. A discreet handwritten inscription is visible at the top, above the main title. The reference ESRF 1116 (M) is printed at the top right.

The graphic style, typography, and portrait photograph clearly evoke a 1960s edition, consistent with François Deguelt's career during that period. The overall visual is typical of vintage French song sleeves from that era.

Only the front of the sleeve is visible in the photo. The record is not visible; only the sleeve is shown. No accessories or inserts are apparent.

This 45-rpm vinyl record is prized for its representation of vintage French chanson, blending retro aesthetics and musical heritage. The vibrant colors and the contrast between the black and white portrait and the colored flat areas reinforce the visual identity of the item.
