Vintage Frank Alamo 45 rpm vinyl record Barclay retro 60s picture sleeve

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This 45 rpm vinyl features a sleeve illustrated with a color photograph of Frank Alamo against a pink background, typical of the 1960s graphic style. On the visible side, the artist's name "FRANK ALAMO" is displayed at the top, with a play of contrasting colors (white and red) for immediate identification. The tracks listed are: "hum hum hum", "ma mère", "je veux prendre ta main" and "à Broadway", printed in white and red on a black band, highlighting the retro aesthetic and period layout.

The sleeve displays the "Barclay" label logo at the bottom right, confirming the original edition. The vinyl is not visible in the photo, but the sleeve, with its classic square format, is representative of 45 rpm singles of the era. Frank Alamo's portrait shows a clothing style and hairstyle characteristic of the 60s, enhancing the item's vintage charm.

The visible surface of the sleeve shows typical signs of wear: handling marks, slightly bent corners, and superficial scratches on the upper edge, which is common for an old vinyl record. The colors of the photo remain vibrant, and the inscriptions are perfectly legible.

This record features four of Frank Alamo's hit songs, an emblematic figure of the French yéyé scene. The graphic presentation, choice of colors, and typography are faithful to the musical aesthetic of the decade, making it both a decorative object and a vintage musical medium.

The photograph also includes an old microphone placed in the background, which is not included in the sale but evokes the world of song and studio recording associated with Frank Alamo.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. The sleeve shows visible signs of wear on the upper edge and corners. The inscriptions and photo remain clearly legible. The vinyl record is not visible in the photo.
