Vinyl 45 RPM Mazel Top Model retro vintage old record Thierry

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This 45 rpm vinyl record features a retro cover design, typical of the late 1980s, predominantly black and white contrasted by colorful graphic elements in yellow and red. The visible side showcases a black and white photographic portrait of the artist, with the name "Mazel" prominently displayed in large, bright red handwritten lettering, and the title "Top Model" in a yellow and red graphic style. To the left, the first name "Thierry" is inscribed vertically in yellow on a black background, adding an additional visual accent to the cover's composition.

The cover's visual is characterized by a dynamic layout, alternating yellow and red oblique bands, which evokes the pop and new wave aesthetic of the period. The black and white impression of the portrait, combined with these graphic lines, gives the whole a decidedly retro style. The cover appears to be in good general condition, with some visible signs of wear on the edges, indicating previous use, with no apparent tears on the presented side.

The main inscriptions, perfectly legible, are: "Mazel", "Top Model" and "Thierry". No other text or label logo is visible on the front of the cover as shown in the photo. The contrast between the photograph and the colored graphic elements offers a distinct aesthetic, true to French musical productions of the 80s.

The record presented is therefore a 45 rpm, the standard format of the time for vinyl singles. This analog audio support was very common for broadcasting flagship titles or new musical releases, and remains appreciated for its sound rendering and decorative value.

The cardboard cover, with its geometric patterns and portrait, is a visual testimony to the graphic spirit of the decade, particularly prized for decoration or enhancing vintage collections. The observed general condition shows a slight patina of use, typical of objects that have survived several decades.

Condition

Used item sold as is. The cover shows some light signs of wear on the visible edges, with no major apparent damage on the side shown.

Did you know? The 45 rpm format, introduced in the late 1940s, remained the preferred medium for musical singles until the late 1980s. Illustrated covers, like this one, were often created by specialized graphic designers or photographers to mark the visual identity of the artist and attract attention in record store bins.
