AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This 45 rpm vinyl features a vintage sleeve depicting Richard Anthony in the studio, accompanied by musicians, in an atmosphere typical of 1960s recordings. The sleeve is characterized by a dominant purple color and a wide yellow band at the top, where the titles "J'irai twister le blues", "Reviens vite, mon amour", "J'entends siffler le train" and "J'irai pleurer sous la pluie" are displayed. The mention "Chansons à la Une" appears in a black and white medallion on the left side.

The name "RICHARD ANTHONY" is printed in large white capital letters, bordered in red, occupying a central place on the cover. In the lower left part, the Columbia logo is visible, attesting to the original edition under this emblematic label. The code "ESRF 1358" is clearly inscribed at the top right, allowing precise identification of this edition.

The central photo, in color, captures Richard Anthony standing, smiling, wearing a brown sweater over a light collar, microphone in hand. In the background, a guitarist and a drummer can be seen, reinforcing the authenticity of the recording scene. The glossy finish of the sleeve shows some bright reflections, typical of vinyl sleeves of this period.

The graphic style, visual aspect and typography place this edition in the French pop and twist movement of the early 60s, a time when Richard Anthony enjoyed great success. The mention "Photo Mandarin" appears at the bottom left, crediting the photographer of the sleeve.

The visible side of the sleeve does not show any major tears, but some traces of wear are visible on the edges, notably a slight fold visible at the top right. The colors remain vibrant and the legibility of the inscriptions is intact.
