AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This 45-rpm vinyl record features a predominantly blue cardboard sleeve illustrated with a color portrait of Léo Ferré, a major figure in French chanson. In the upper left corner, the Barclay label logo and the reference "70 402" are clearly visible. The name "LEO FERRE" appears in large silver letters on the upper part of the sleeve. The visible side lists four titles: "Vingt Ans," "Nous Deux," "Les Temps Difficiles," and "Les Chéris," printed in white letters on the right. The close-up photograph of the singer highlights an expressive face against a plain blue background, with a clearly visible red shirt collar.

The sleeve displays a graphic style typical of 1960s-70s French productions, with careful printing and still vibrant colors. No major defects appear on the visible side: no significant creases or notable tears, although some discreet traces of use and handling are observed, mainly on the lower edges.

The record itself (the vinyl) is not visible in the photo; only the front cover is shown. The 45-rpm format is confirmed by the mention in the keywords; it is the standard single or EP of the era, intended for traditional record players. This type of record is sought after for the quality of its analog pressing and the richness of its repertoire.

On the sleeve, the typography style and layout are characteristic of vintage French music design. The mention of the Barclay label, identifiable by its handwritten logo, guarantees an original French edition. The ensemble offers an iconic visual of French musical heritage.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. The visible side of the sleeve shows slight traces of wear consistent with prolonged storage, but remains in good overall condition for an item from this period. The colors are well preserved, with no significant fading.

Did you know? Léo Ferré, a major singer-songwriter of the 20th century, signed with Barclay in 1960. This label was instrumental in the dissemination of his committed and poetic songs. 45-rpm records were then the preferred format to reach a wide audience, before the advent of 33-rpm LPs for complete albums.
