Vintage Sylvie Vartan 45 RPM vinyl RCA "L’amour c’est comme une cigarette"

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

45 rpm vinyl record in an illustrated sleeve, featuring singer Sylvie Vartan. The sleeve shown in the photo presents a color photographic visual: Sylvie Vartan appears in summer attire (denim shorts, white t-shirt, white ankle boots), holding a horse by the bridle on a beach, with the sea in the background. The overall atmosphere evokes the 1980s, both through the clothing style and the sleeve's graphics.

The name "Sylvie Vartan" is inscribed in large blue handwritten characters, occupying the upper part of the sleeve. Below, to the left, is the title of the main track: "L’amour c’est comme une cigarette", printed in white letters. In the bottom left, the RCA logo, a renowned record label, is visible, confirming the original edition. In the top right, the reference "PB 877" appears, typical of RCA pressings from this period.

The sleeve, in the characteristic square format of 45 rpm records, shows slightly worn edges and some signs of use, visible on the front. The colors remain vibrant, with a strong contrast between the blue of the sky, the light sand, and the natural tones of the horse. No major defects are visible on the displayed side, apart from moderate signs of wear related to age.

This record, as presented, is aimed at an audience looking for a vintage copy of Sylvie Vartan, an emblematic singer of the yéyé and French variety scene, under the RCA label. The visible side does not allow for indicating the title of the B-side or the condition of the vinyl itself, as the image only shows the front sleeve.
