AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This 45 rpm vinyl record features singer Line Renaud on a cover typical of the graphic style of the 1950s-1960s. The visible side of the cover shows a black and white portrait of Line Renaud on a yellow and red background, with her name written in white handwritten letters at the top. The design is characterized by solid colored areas and strong contrast, typical of record sleeves from this period.

The song titles are clearly visible on the right side of the cover: "Tango de l'éléphant," "Mister Banjo," "En dansant le cha-cha-cha," and "Romance à Rome." These titles are printed in black on a red background. At the bottom right, the "Pathé" logo in white on a black background confirms the record label, with a small graphic emblem representing a rooster. The indication "Orchestre dir. : Pierre Guillermin" is at the bottom left, printed in red.

The reference "45 EG 191" appears at the top right, allowing for precise identification of this pressing. The cover shows visible signs of wear: marked creases, scratches, and handling marks, mainly on the yellow and red areas, which attests to its authenticity and age. The corners are blunted, and signs of use appear across the entire visible surface.

The square and compact format of the record, as well as the mention "45 tours" (45 rpm), confirm that it is a vinyl single, commonly called an "EP" (Extended Play) at that time. The typography, graphics, and color palette reinforce the retro and vintage aspect of this musical piece.

The visible side does not reveal any other details about the condition of the record itself, nor about the back of the sleeve. Only the front side is described here, in accordance with the photo provided.
