Description

This 45 rpm vinyl record features the original cover art for the song "Macao" performed by Le Grand Orchestre du Splendid. The visible side shows a color photographic illustration, where the entire group is staged in a choreographed pose in front of a stylized palm tree backdrop, under a bluish light evoking a nighttime ambiance. The group's name, "SPLENDID," is highlighted in bright yellow, with the handwritten inscription "HUMEUR" integrated into the letter S. The mentions "Le Grand Orchestre du Splendid" and "Macao" also appear on the upper part of the cover, while the RCA logo is clearly visible in the lower left corner. In the lower right, the "Martinez Lederman Productions" logo confirms the production label.

The cover boasts a graphic style typical of the late 1970s and early 80s, with a dynamic and festive layout, true to the group's spirit. The central photograph, with the group in stage costumes, highlights the theatrical and humorous nature of the band. The dark blue background, adorned with stylized palm trees, gives the whole an exotic atmosphere, in keeping with the title "Macao."

The record is presented in a vertical position, with the cover being the only side visible in the photo. No details of the back, nor the condition of the vinyl itself, are visible here. The top edge of the cover shows slight creases and wear, particularly on the right corner, which is common for a vintage record from this period.

The overall visual is true to the popular aesthetic of French variety 45 rpm singles produced under the RCA label in the 1980s. The inscriptions are clear and legible, and no graphic details are obscured on the presented side.

Used item, sold as is. Cover with visible signs of wear, creases and marks on the corners. Vinyl untested. Only the front of the cover is visible in the photo.
