AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This 45-rpm vinyl record features the artist Marie Laforêt, an emblematic figure of French chanson. The visible cover shows a large color close-up photograph of the artist against a blue-gray stone wall. The inscription "marie laforêt vol. XVI" appears in the upper left in purple and blue letters, while the "festival" logo and the reference "FX 1573 M" are printed in the upper right. The graphic design of the cover, with its sober colors and photographic aesthetic, clearly evokes a 1960s or 1970s production.

The visible side shows a cardboard sleeve with rounded corners, with signs of wear and handling on the edges, typical of old vinyl records. The photograph's print remains clear, although reflections and some superficial marks are visible on the front. No other text or song title is visible on this part.

Marie Laforêt's image occupies most of the sleeve, with artistic framing and a melancholic expression, a signature of the singer during this period. The minimalist layout, centered on the portrait, reflects the style of Festival productions of the time. The dominant colors are off-white, blue-gray, and natural shades, reinforcing the item's vintage appearance.

The "festival" logo in the upper right indicates the record label, known for its French productions in the 60s and 70s. The reference "FX 1573 M" allows for precise identification of this edition of the record. Only the front of the sleeve is visible; no details of the back or the record itself can be observed in this image.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. The sleeve shows visible signs of wear on the edges, some marks and reflections on the surface, with no apparent major tears on the front.
