AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This record is a La Compagnie Créole 45 rpm vinyl, illustrated with a colorful cover on a vibrant green background. The cover features the entire group, dressed in festive and brightly colored costumes, predominantly white, pink, and pastel blue, with an exotic touch provided by a parrot on the shoulder of one of the members. The inscription "LA COMPAGNIE CREOLE" appears in yellow at the top of the cover, followed by the title "Vive le Douanier Rousseau!" in white.

The cover boasts a graphic style typical of the 1980s, both in the choice of colors and the photographic staging. The band members wear accessories evoking a tropical and festive atmosphere, consistent with La Compagnie Créole's musical universe. The Zagora logo is in the bottom left corner, while the Carrere logo is visible in the bottom right, attesting to the original record label.

The 45 rpm vinyl is not visible in this image; only the front cover is. No details of the back, the record itself, or the central label are observable. The cover shows some signs of wear, particularly slightly dog-eared corners and a fold mark on the bottom left corner.

The colors of the jacket remain vibrant, and the visual impression is clear. The inscriptions are perfectly legible, contributing to the decorative and referential appeal of this record for lovers of 80s French-language music. The overall presentation is typical of French pop singles from this period.

The "Zagora" and "Carrere" references identify the record's production and distribution. The title "Vive le Douanier Rousseau!" directly refers to one of the group's hits, known for its festive and catchy songs.

Condition

This 45 rpm vinyl is second-hand and sold as-is. The cover shows visible signs of wear: dog-eared corners, fold marks, and general wear related to age and handling.

Did you know? The title "Vive le Douanier Rousseau!" pays homage to the French painter Henri Rousseau, nicknamed "le Douanier" (the Customs Officer), famous for his naive paintings with exotic imagery. La Compagnie Créole, a group founded in 1975, distinguished itself with its festive hits, blending Caribbean rhythms and humorous lyrics, becoming a key figure in the French-language music scene in the 1980s.
