AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This 45 rpm vinyl record features the song "Étrangers dans la nuit," the French version of "Strangers in the Night," performed by Ricardo. The cover, clearly visible in the photograph, displays a black and white image of a man driving a car, in a close-up on the car door, with a clothing style reminiscent of the 1960s. The entire jacket is framed by an orange-yellow border, typical of editions from that era.

At the top of the cover is the title "ÉTRANGERS DANS LA NUIT" in capital letters, accompanied by the mention "LA VERSION FRANÇAISE DE STRANGERS IN THE NIGHT" (The French Version of Strangers in the Night). The Riviera label logo is clearly visible on the right, attesting to the original edition. The artist's name, "RICARDO," is printed in large black letters in the lower-left corner of the cover.

The photograph used for the jacket, credited to "PHOTO P. BERTRAND" in small print on the side, illustrates the retro atmosphere characteristic of the record's release period. The graphic style, typography, and layout are typical of French music productions from the 60s to the 70s.

The record is presented in a matte cardboard sleeve, with visible signs of wear on the edges and corners, testifying to its age and past use. The spine shows the reference "231159," which facilitates identification for knowledgeable record collectors.

No additional information about the B-side or other tracks is visible in this image. The overall condition of the cover indicates that it is a copy to be restored or handled with care, ideal for those seeking vintage vinyl records or retro decorative objects.
