Description

This 45 rpm vinyl record is an original pressing by Hugues Aufray released by the Barclay label. The sleeve features a color photograph of the artist, guitar over his shoulder, against a light blue background. The typography of the name "hugues aufray" appears in large white letters at the top, accompanied by the titles "Un mur, un ruisseau, un jardin et des fleurs", "Un marin c’est bien", "Je ne suis plus maître chez moi" and "Pauvre Benoît", printed in white and blue on the left side. The blue Barclay logo is visible at the bottom right, as is the reference "71.350" in the upper right corner.

The sleeve, typical of French productions from the 60s-70s, displays a sober and direct photographic style, highlighting the singer-songwriter. The visible surface appears glossy, with characteristic reflections of the coated paper used for sleeves of that era. The visible edge shows no inscription, and only the front is shown here.

The visual shows good color preservation, without marked discoloration or major creases on the front. The upper corners appear slightly rounded, indicating moderate but respectful handling. No major defects are visible on the front sleeve, apart from very slight traces of use consistent with the age of the object.

This 45 rpm vinyl record, also called a single or small format record, is sought after for its emblematic French songs, carried by the voice of Hugues Aufray. The vintage look of the sleeve and the Barclay logo add to the authenticity of this record, ideal for complementing a selection of French vinyls or for decorative display on a shelf or in a musical space.
