Description

This 45 rpm vinyl record features Georges Guétary, an iconic figure in French chanson, released by the Pathé label. The cover, clearly visible in the photo, presents a striking graphic visual: the artist's black and white face occupies almost the entire cover, set against a red background with textured yellow patterns, typical of certain musical editions from the 50s and 60s. The main inscriptions, clearly legible, mention "Georges Guétary" in a dynamic white handwritten typography, as well as the Pathé logo in white on the right.

Several titles are listed on the cover: "Georges, viens danser le rock n’roll!", "En courant le monde", "Riche à millions", "Dites-lui". The orchestra is conducted by Jo Moutet, as indicated at the bottom right. The overall visual presentation evokes a vintage aesthetic, reinforced by the two-tone printing and the graphic style of the era.

The 45 rpm format is confirmed by the mention on the cover and corresponds to the standard singles sold in France during the rock and yé-yé period. The record is presented on a rigid support, suggesting that the cover is well-preserved and that the corners are neat, with no apparent folds on the visible side. The contrast between the photographic portrait and the colored background is eye-catching and gives this edition a strong visual identity, sought after by collectors of old vinyl records.

The visible side shows no major signs of wear, tears, or annotations. The colors remain vibrant and the text perfectly legible. This type of cardboard sleeve, typical of the era, is appreciated for its robustness and the quality of its printing.

This 45 rpm vinyl record is part of the repertoire of popular French song, with a rock'n'roll orientation, as suggested by the main title. The name of the Pathé label, one of the largest historical record publishers in France, is clearly displayed, guaranteeing authenticity and widespread distribution at the time of its release.
