Description

Old Richard Anthony 45 rpm vinyl record, presented in its original illustrated sleeve. The visible side of the sleeve features a black and white portrait of the artist, accompanied by stylized red balloon graphics in the upper left corner. The name "Richard Anthony" is printed large in red letters, in a vintage typeface, along with the titles "Les Ballons – Severine – Que te dire encore" in black. The edition bears the reference ESRF 1927, visible in the upper right corner.

The EMI Columbia logo appears in the upper left, indicating its affiliation with this historic label. The square sleeve has a semi-glossy finish, typical of French pressings from the 60s and 70s. On the front, the visual highlights a retro style with a clean layout, characteristic of sleeves from that period. The photograph of Richard Anthony, taken by Gérard Neuvecelle (credited in the bottom left), reinforces the authentic and vintage aspect of the item.

The visible record is a 45 rpm, standard vinyl format for singles of that era, highly appreciated for its compact handling and analog sound quality. The sleeve shows no additional text or logos on the visible area, apart from the elements already mentioned. No major defects are visible on the displayed side: no tears or apparent moisture marks, only some reflections related to the ambient light. The graphic colors remain well-contrasted, and the black and white photo retains good sharpness.

This vinyl is a typical piece of French retro production, with an aesthetic faithful to the standards of the 60s and 70s, both in its design and its choice of typography and photography. All information is legible on the sleeve: titles, artist, label, and reference.

Condition

Used item sold as is. The visible side of the sleeve in the photo shows no major defects, significant wear, or missing parts. The overall appearance is good and consistent with common use for a vintage record.
