Johann Strauss Auteuil vintage 45 rpm vinyl, worn sleeve, untested

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This 45 rpm vinyl record honors the composer Johann Strauss, under the direction of Johann Von Ritter. The cover features a remarkable central visual: a richly ornate crystal chandelier, against a black background, with stylized red candles. The name "Johann Strauss" is inscribed in large pink letters at the top, adding an elegant and retro touch to the whole. At the bottom of the cover, several titles are mentioned in light blue: "The Blue Danube", "Artist's Life", "Emperor Waltz", and "Viennese Blood".

The record is released under the "Auteuil" label, whose distinctive logo appears at the bottom right of the jacket. The contrast between the shiny black background and the white margins of the cover gives the object a graphic appearance characteristic of vinyl productions from the second half of the 20th century. The typography and visual composition evoke a vintage aesthetic, with a simple yet expressive layout.

The cover is photographed upright, placed on a wooden piece of furniture, with a bookcase filled with old books in the background, highlighting the classic and timeless atmosphere of the object. No other elements or accessories are visible in the part shown.

The graphic details of the chandelier, the contrasting colors, and the text presentation make this cover a typical example of the iconography of classical records published for the French-speaking market, probably around the 1970s-1980s (to be nuanced in the absence of an explicit date).

The visible side shows no mention of the condition of the record itself, nor of any wear, apart from some reflections on the jacket. The proposed titles include key works from Strauss's repertoire, which gives this vinyl a particular interest for listening to Viennese waltzes and light classical music.

Condition

Second-hand item sold as is, untested. The visible cover appears generally clean, with no apparent tears on the shown side. The condition of the vinyl inside is not visible in the photo.

Did you know? Johann Strauss II, nicknamed "the Waltz King", popularized the Viennese waltz in the 19th century. His most famous work, "The Blue Danube", was first performed in 1867 in Vienna and remains today one of the iconic pieces of the international classical repertoire.
