Vinyl 45 rpm Hervé Vilard Mercury 60s vintage picture sleeve

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This 45 rpm vinyl record features Hervé Vilard, an iconic figure of French chanson from the 1960s. The sleeve displays a color photographic portrait of the singer, in a style typical of productions from that period, with a blurred background and soft tones. The visual highlights his name in yellow capital letters on a blue background, as well as the tracklist in white and red characters, clearly visible on the upper right part of the sleeve.

Among the titles legible on the front are "Fais-la rire", "J'ai envie (de vivre avec toi)", "Jean-Noël, c'est Noël", and "Et moi alors". The Mercury Records logo is clearly visible at the bottom right, indicating the original label. The reference "MEDIUM 152.042 MCE" is also indicated at the top right, allowing for precise identification of this vintage edition.

The sleeve has a glossy finish, characteristic of vinyl editions of this generation. The photographic visual, with its tight framing of Hervé Vilard's face, illustrates the aesthetic of French record sleeves from the mid-20th century, favoring artist portraits. The dominant colors are blue, yellow, and flesh tones, with a slightly patinated effect due to the age of the sleeve.

No information is visible about the condition of the record itself or the back of the sleeve, as the photo only shows the front. The record has not been tested, as mentioned in the keywords. The item is presented in a church, which does not affect the object itself but emphasizes its vintage appearance and visual authenticity.

Condition

Used item sold as is, untested. The sleeve shows reflections and slight wear consistent with its age, with no major apparent defects on the visible side.

Did you know? Mercury Records, founded in 1945 in Chicago, was a major player in record production in Europe in the 1960s. Hervé Vilard, famous for his hit "Capri c’est fini", released many 45 rpm singles on this label, which contributed to the international dissemination of French chanson.
