Michel Galabru "L'Arbre de Soleil" 7" vinyl vintage 80s Christmas

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This 45 rpm vinyl features a single disc format, illustrated with a colourful cardboard sleeve. The front cover displays the title "L'Arbre de Soleil (La légende du sapin de Noël)" (The Sun Tree (The Legend of the Christmas Tree)), performed by Michel Galabru, whose photograph is at the centre of a naive illustration of a decorated Christmas tree. Two children's portraits are inserted in circular medallions at the bottom right, evoking a childish and festive world. The graphics, typical of musical productions for young people in the 1980s, are distinguished by their bright colours: turquoise blue background, green, yellow and pink patterns, and yellow lettering framed in black for the artist's name.

The sleeve presents a characteristic retro aesthetic, with a simple graphic composition and clean lines. There is also a handwritten inscription on the upper left part ("A Cécile Nov 1984"), probably indicating a dedication or an acquisition date. The whole suggests a French pressing from the 80s, dedicated to the world of Christmas, and intended for a young audience or families. The object is photographed placed on a carved wooden support, in a church or cathedral setting, with stained glass windows in the background, which highlights its festive and traditional aspect.

The vinyl is not visible in the image, but the sleeve appears to be in good overall condition: the corners are only slightly worn, the printing remains vivid, and no significant folds or tears appear. A slight reflection or mark on Michel Galabru's photo may indicate superficial wear, but nothing major is observable. The standard 45 rpm format (approximately 18 cm x 18 cm) is suggested by the proportions of the sleeve.

The main information is clearly legible: "MICHEL GALABRU" in large letters, "L’Arbre de Soleil (La légende du sapin de Noël)" in stylized characters, as well as the illustrations of children. The whole evokes Christmas-themed musical productions, often sought after for their nostalgic and decorative aspect.

This 45 rpm record is a typical example of festive-themed children's vinyl records, published in France in the 1980s, and carried by entertainment or cinema personalities.
