Mireille Mathieu 45 rpm vinyl Barclay vintage blue sleeve French song

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This 45 RPM vinyl record features Mireille Mathieu, an iconic figure of French chanson, released under the Barclay label. The sleeve displays a color portrait of Mireille Mathieu on a solid blue background, with blue typography for the artist's name and white for the song titles. The titles visible on the sleeve are: "l’amour est passé", "cent fois ma vie", "una canzone", "à force de rêver". The Barclay label logo appears distinctly at the bottom right of the sleeve, confirming the original pressing.

The front cover of the sleeve has a glossy finish that subtly reflects light, suggesting a well-maintained appearance typical of vinyl editions from the period. The inscription "MONO + STEREO gravure universelle" (universal engraving) is located at the top left, accompanied by a visible reference: "71.277 M". The graphic design, the artist's hairstyle, and the photographic style clearly evoke a production from the late 60s or early 70s, which corresponds to Mireille Mathieu's booming period with Barclay.

The record itself is not visible in the photo, but the sleeve shows slightly worn corners, indicating moderate use and prolonged storage. No major defects are observable on the visible front, apart from slight handling marks and tiny imperfections on the edges.

This 45 RPM single is ideal for French chanson enthusiasts looking to rediscover the authentic sound and aesthetics of period recordings. The blue sleeve and Mireille Mathieu's characteristic portrait make it an emblematic visual object, sought after for its graphic presentation typical of Barclay productions from this era.

The typography, the Barclay logo, and the mention "gravure universelle" are typical of French pressings from the label in the late 60s. The four titles displayed suggest an EP (extended play), a common format at the time for this type of repertoire.

Condition
