Description

This 45 RPM vinyl record features the song "Le Grec" performed by Petula Clark, identifiable by its illustrated sleeve and the inscription in yellow and orange letters. The record is released under the CBS label, reference CBS 6740, clearly visible at the top left of the sleeve. The visual highlights several painted portraits, including that of Petula Clark at the bottom left, recognizable by her curly light hair and smile, accompanied by two characters with dark glasses against a Mediterranean landscape background. In the background, elements evoke Greece: ancient temples, sea, yachts, and beach scenes, emphasizing the link with the film "The Greek Tycoon" for which it is the theme song.

The sleeve features bright and contrasting colors, dominated by blue, white, ocher, and orange tones, creating a summery and cinematic atmosphere typical of 1970s movie soundtrack sleeves. The main title "Le Grec" and the performer's name appear in large letters, facilitating identification for music and film enthusiasts. The CBS logo is clearly visible, confirming the original release by this recognized label.
