Description

This 45 rpm vinyl record features a black and white photographic illustration on its cover of three French Cancan dancers caught in a classic choreography, set against a background of wide orange and white vertical stripes. The title "LE FRENCH-CANCAN de Paris" is printed at the top of the sleeve in a bold, dynamic font, evoking the festive atmosphere of Parisian cabarets. The scene, typical of Parisian shows, highlights the energy and vivacity of this iconic dance.

At the bottom right is the name "Jean Laporte et son orchestre" on a yellow band, handwritten in black, indicating the artist of this record. The "FESTIVAL" label logo appears on the left, accompanied by the mention "Raphael" further down, which indicates the production house and the possible editorial series. The reference visible at the top right, "FX 45 1029 M", allows discophiles and French music lovers to precisely identify this edition.

The sleeve displays a retro graphic style, typical of the second half of the 20th century, with its vibrant colors and dynamic photographic montage. The traditional costumes of the dancers, including petticoats, fishnet stockings, and feathered headdresses, reinforce the iconography of the Parisian cabaret. The ensemble immediately evokes the festive and theatrical atmosphere of the music hall.

The overall condition of the sleeve shows some visible signs of wear, notably folds and creases on the corners and edges, as well as slight localized discoloration. These signs of use attest to an object that has stood the test of time, while retaining all of its main graphic elements. No other accessories or back are visible in the photo provided.
