AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This 45 rpm vinyl record celebrates Joe Dassin, a key figure in French song. The sleeve shown in the photo is a CBS edition (reference 3871) from the Gemini series, recognizable by its vibrant blue background and its central illustration of a baker's cart pulled by two cherubs, one holding a small roll. The main titles "Le petit pain au chocolat" and "Le temps des œufs au plat" are inscribed in white and black, with the artist's name in black capital letters. The whole is presented in a typical graphic frame, with the CBS logo at the top left and the mention "série GEMINI" in a crest on the right.

The visible side of the sleeve shows some signs of wear, including scuffs on the corners and prominent creases, mainly on the left edge. The turquoise blue color dominates, contrasted by black and white illustrations and text. The graphic style, with its drawings of cherubs and a cart, evokes a playful and retro spirit, in line with the popular imagery of 1970s French song.

The record is not visible in the photo; only the front sleeve is displayed. The illustration and inscriptions are clearly distinguishable, making quick identification easy for fans of French vinyls and Joe Dassin.

The 45 rpm format corresponds to a typical single record of the era, intended for playback on a standard vinyl turntable. The cardboard sleeve has a matte finish, with no apparent metallic or lacquered effect on the visible side.

The graphic presentation and choice of colors reflect the style of CBS productions of the period, with a clear highlighting of the titles and the singer.
