AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

Jacques Brel 45 rpm vinyl record, released by Philips, with a color illustrated cover. The visible side features a close-up photographic portrait of Jacques Brel against a speckled blue background. The titles readable at the top left of the cover are: "LE MORIBOND", "L’IVROGNE", and "ON N’OUBLIE RIEN". The inscription "PHILIPS" appears vertically on the left, while the name "jacques brel" is printed in white on the right, with a distinct typography characteristic of 1960s editions. The top right corner indicates the reference "MEDIUM 432.518 BE".

The cover shows a sharp color print with pronounced contrast on the artist's face, typical of studio photography of the era. The corners are rounded, and slight visual wear is observed on the edges, particularly on the left and top right. The surface shows some marks and scuffs, with no major tears visible on this side.

This 45 rpm vinyl, a classic format for singles of this period, is part of French vintage music production, with an iconic visual of Jacques Brel. The overall appearance is consistent with the graphic standards of Philips editions from the mid-20th century, with the brand's yellow logo clearly visible next to the titles.

The general presentation of the cover, with its saturated colors and hierarchical layout, evokes the style of the 60s, a flagship period for French chanson. No back cover or disc is visible in the provided image – only the front cover is observable.

Condition

Used item sold as is. The cover shows signs of wear and tear: dulled corners and edges, handling marks, but remains in good visual condition for its age. Please refer to the photo to assess the exact condition of the visible side.

Did you know? Jacques Brel recorded "Le Moribond" in 1961. This title became internationally famous after being adapted into English as "Seasons in the Sun" by Terry Jacks in 1974, which was a global hit. Philips editions were then Brel's main publisher in France.
