Alain Barrière Barclay 70s Vintage Picture Sleeve 45 RPM Vinyl

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

Illustrated 45 rpm vinyl record by artist Alain Barrière, presented in its original sleeve published by Barclay. The visible side shows a color photograph of Alain Barrière, three-quarter view, against a gradient blue background. The artist's name is printed in the upper left in white and blue letters, with a sober typography characteristic of French productions from the 1970s.

On the sleeve, four titles are inscribed in white: "la foire aux cœurs", "qu’on s’aimait", "sur ton visage", "chanson trop monotone". The white Barclay label logo appears in the lower left, accompanied by a reference printed vertically on the upper left edge ("N° 60911").

The object shows well-preserved colors, with a slight matte patina visible on the cardboard surface of the sleeve. No vinyl is visible in the photo, only the front jacket is shown. The image does not show any major tears or writing on the visible part, but there are some signs of light wear on the corners and bottom of the sleeve, typical of old records stored.

The graphic style, the singer's photograph, and the presentation correspond to the visual standards of French chanson from the early 70s, recognizable by the airy layout and the use of close-up portraits for 45 rpm sleeves of that era.
