Rare vintage 80s Jean-Jacques Goldman American 45 rpm vinyl sleeve

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

The disc presented is a 45 rpm vinyl record, identifiable by its small cardboard sleeve, illustrated on the visible side. It is the single "Américain (Long is the road)" by Jean-Jacques Goldman, a major figure in French music. The sleeve features a very typical 80s visual, with a white brick wall in the background. Jean-Jacques Goldman, dressed in a white shirt and jeans, is photographed standing, one hand on a guitar case adorned with the flag of the United States, a striking graphic element of this edition.

The title "Américain (Long is the road)" is inscribed in red graffiti-style letters, accentuating the pop-rock aesthetic of the visual. The artist's name, "JEAN-JACQUES GOLDMAN", is clearly printed at the top of the sleeve in blue capital letters. No other text or logo is visible on the side shown. The color photograph presents contrasts typical of graphic production from the mid-80s.

Visible signs of wear are observed on the corners and edges of the sleeve: dog-eared corners, friction marks, and slight creases, particularly in the lower part. These signs indicate previous use and prolonged storage, common for this type of old media. The sleeve's image remains clearly legible, however, and the illustration retains its visual impact.

The vinyl record is not visible in the image; only the front cover is shown. Therefore, the condition of the disc itself cannot be commented on here. The sleeve represents an emblematic object for lovers of 80s French music and collectors of vintage vinyl records.
