Vinyl 45 rpm Jean-Christian Michel Psaume Quartet Organ illustrated sleeve

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This 45 rpm vinyl record features the cover of the "Psaume" album performed by Jean-Christian Michel, accompanied by a quartet with organ. The cover visible in the photo adopts a distinct graphic style, with a central illustration evoking Gothic arches and a human figure superimposed, in dark tones highlighted with colorful touches. The title "Psaume" is inscribed at the top, with a stylized red "P" and the rest of the word in black, using original typography.

Below the illustration, we find the mention "Quatuor avec orgue" and the name "Jean-Christian Michel" in black capital letters, as well as a handwritten "Riviera" logo, which identifies the production label. The cover shows visible signs of wear, including stains, creases, and marks on the edges, typical of a used record handled over time.

The square format and thickness of the cover correspond to the usual presentation of a single 45 rpm vinyl record. No other elements such as the spine, back, or the record itself are visible in the photo, so the description is limited to the front of the cover.

The graphic style and typography suggest a production between the late 1960s and early 1970s, consistent with Jean-Christian Michel's musical career, famous for his compositions blending sacred music, jazz, and organ. The illustration contributes to the visual identity of this record, with an aesthetic that was both mystical and contemporary for its time.

The inscriptions are clear and legible, reinforcing the authenticity of this edition. The cover, though marked by time, retains its appeal for vinyl record enthusiasts and orchestral music with organ.
