AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This 45 rpm vinyl record features a period sleeve illustrated with a photographic portrait of Jean Ferrat against an autumnal foliage background, typical of 60s-70s French editions. The cover highlights the artist's name in large white letters on a purple background, with a list of four tracks printed in black: “La Montagne”, “Hourrah!”, “Autant d’amour, autant de fleurs”, and “Que serais-je sans toi?”. The image reveals a simple and elegant graphic style, characteristic of vintage French song covers.

In the bottom left, the Disc’AZ label logo is clearly visible, attesting to the original French edition. The sleeve shows a color photograph of Jean Ferrat wearing a brown jacket and a patterned shirt, with a close-up shot of his face. The background of the image, composed of branches and leaves, adds a natural and poetic touch to the whole, in perfect harmony with the artist's musical world.

The record is not visible in the photo; only the front cover appears. The corners show some signs of wear, including a slight indentation in the upper left and a visible crease in the upper right. The varnish of the sleeve shows some light reflections, without affecting the legibility of the inscriptions or the sharpness of the visual.

The typography used for Jean Ferrat’s name and the titles is consistent with the graphic aesthetic of old vinyl records, reinforcing the retro look of the object. No other text or technical details (serial number, credits, precise date) are legible on this side of the sleeve, with the exception of the number "61715" on the left edge.

This 45 rpm vinyl record is a beautiful example of an old French song record, prized for its decorative appeal as much as for its musical value. The sleeve, although showing some signs of age, retains its visual appeal and period authenticity.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. The sleeve shows visible signs of wear: marked corners, creases, and reflections on the surface, but remains overall in good presentable condition for a vintage vinyl.
