AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This disc is a 45 RPM vinyl record, identifiable by its illustrated sleeve and the mention "microsillon" (microgroove) in the bottom right. The visible side shows the original sleeve, illustrated with a black and white photograph depicting six young choristers in light robes, grouped together and looking upwards. The entire sleeve is dominated by two color areas: a bright blue upper band with the titles and the ensemble's name, and the rest of the visual in black and white, adorned with the large title "Noëls de France" (Christmas Carols of France) in legible yellow handwritten typography, centered.

The upper part of the sleeve clearly indicates the performer: "Les Petits Chanteurs de St-François-de-Sales." Several traditional Christmas carol titles are also listed, such as "Dors ma colombe" (Sleep My Dove), "Noël Alsacien" (Alsatian Christmas Carol), "Vite, levez-vous, doux pastoureaux" (Quickly, Get Up, Gentle Shepherds), "Noël Provençal" (Provençal Christmas Carol), "Le bel ange du ciel" (The Beautiful Angel of Heaven), "Noël des Flandres" (Christmas Carol of Flanders), "Noël est venu" (Christmas Has Come), or "Noël Bressan" (Bressan Christmas Carol).

A round logo in the bottom right specifies the label: "Trianon," accompanied by the mention "Microsillon 45T Haute Fidélité" (Microgroove 45 RPM High Fidelity), confirming the 45 RPM format and high-fidelity technology, characteristic of French record productions from the 1950s-1960s. In the bottom left, the reference "45.077" and the photo credit "Photo A. Garde" are visible.

The sleeve shows slight visible signs of wear: blunted corners, handling marks, and some superficial traces, typical of a used record from this period. The printing remains clear, with no apparent tears on the visible side.

The overall visual suggests a typical edition of Christmas carol records by children's choirs, with a sober and traditional aesthetic, focused on showcasing the French repertoire. The absence of any precise date or other information on the visible side limits the analysis to what is strictly observable.
